Jeremiah 16:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ “Don’t even go into a home where there is a banquet. Don’t sit with them to eat and drink. ⁹ This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I’m going to put a stop to the sounds of joy and happiness and the sounds of brides and grooms in this place. This will happen in your lifetime, while you watch.

¹⁰ “When you tell the people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why does the Lord threaten us with all these disasters? What have we done wrong? How have we sinned against the Lord our God?’
