Jeremiah 16
The
word
of
the
Lord
came
also
unto
me,
saying,
2 Thou
shalt
not
take
thee
a
wife,
neither
shalt
thou
have
sons
or
daughters
in
this
place.
3 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
sons
and
concerning
the
daughters
that
are
born
in
this
place,
and
concerning
their
mothers
that
bare
them,
and
concerning
their
fathers
that
begat
them
in
this
land;
4 They
shall
die
of
grievous
deaths;
they
shall
not
be
a
lamented;
neither
shall
they
be
buried;
but
they
shall
be
as
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
earth:
and
they
shall
be
b
consumed
by
the
sword,
and
by
famine;
and
their
c
carcases
shall
be
meat
for
the
fowls
of
heaven,
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
5 For
thus
saith
the
Lord,
Enter
not
into
the
house
of
a
mourning,
neither
go
to
lament
nor
bemoan
them:
for
I
have
taken
away
my
peace
from
this
people,
saith
the
Lord,
even
lovingkindness
and
mercies.
6 Both
the
great
and
the
small
shall
die
in
this
land:
they
shall
not
be
buried,
neither
shall
men
lament
for
them,
a
nor
cut
themselves,
nor
make
themselves
bald
for
them:
7 Neither
shall
men
a
tear
themselves
for
them
in
mourning,
to
comfort
them
for
the
dead;
neither
shall
men
give
them
the
cup
of
consolation
to
drink
for
their
father
or
for
their
mother.
8 Thou
shalt
not
also
go
into
the
house
of
feasting,
to
sit
with
them
to
eat
and
to
drink.
9 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel;
Behold,
I
will
cause
to
cease
out
of
this
place
in
your
eyes,
and
in
your
days,
the
voice
of
a
mirth,
and
the
voice
of
gladness,
the
voice
of
the
bridegroom,
and
the
voice
of
the
bride.
10 And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
thou
shalt
shew
this
people
all
these
words,
and
they
shall
say
unto
thee,
a
Wherefore
hath
the
Lord
pronounced
all
this
great
evil
against
us?
or
what
is
our
iniquity?
or
what
is
our
sin
that
we
have
committed
against
the
Lord
our
God?
11 Then
shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
Because
your
fathers
have
forsaken
me,
saith
the
Lord,
and
have
walked
after
other
gods,
and
have
served
them,
and
have
worshipped
them,
and
have
forsaken
me,
and
have
not
kept
my
law;
12 And
ye
have
done
a
worse
than
your
b
fathers;
for,
behold,
ye
walk
every
one
after
the
c
imagination
of
his
evil
heart,
that
they
may
not
hearken
unto
me:
13 Therefore
will
I
a
cast
you
out
of
this
b
land
into
a
land
that
ye
know
not,
neither
ye
nor
your
fathers;
and
there
shall
ye
serve
other
c
gods
day
and
night;
where
I
will
not
d
shew
you
favour.
14 Therefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
Lord,
that
it
shall
no
more
be
said,
The
a
Lord
liveth,
that
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
15 But,
The
Lord
liveth,
that
a
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
land
of
the
b
north,
and
from
all
the
c
lands
whither
he
had
driven
them:
and
I
will
d
bring
them
again
into
their
e
land
that
I
gave
unto
their
fathers.
16 Behold,
I
will
send
for
many
a
fishers,
saith
the
Lord,
and
they
shall
fish
them;
and
after
will
I
send
for
many
hunters,
and
they
shall
hunt
them
from
every
mountain,
and
from
every
hill,
and
out
of
the
holes
of
the
rocks.
17 For
mine
eyes
are
upon
all
their
ways:
they
are
not
hid
from
my
face,
neither
is
their
a
iniquity
hid
from
mine
eyes.
18 And
first
I
will
a
recompense
their
iniquity
and
their
sin
b
double;
because
they
have
c
defiled
my
land,
they
have
filled
mine
inheritance
with
the
carcases
of
their
detestable
and
abominable
things.
19 O
Lord,
my
strength,
and
my
fortress,
and
my
refuge
in
the
day
of
affliction,
the
a
Gentiles
shall
come
unto
thee
from
the
ends
of
the
earth,
and
shall
say,
Surely
our
fathers
have
b
inherited
lies,
vanity,
and
things
wherein
there
is
no
profit.
20 Shall
a
man
make
a
gods
unto
himself,
and
they
are
no
b
gods?
21 Therefore,
behold,
I
will
this
once
cause
them
to
know,
I
will
cause
them
to
know
mine
hand
and
my
might;
and
they
shall
a
know
that
my
b
name
is
The
Lord.
