Jeremiah 16:5-9

Jeremiah 16:5-9 TPT

For YAHWEH says: “You are not to enter a house of mourning or go there to lament and to console them. For I have lifted my favor off that people,” declares YAHWEH. “I will no longer show them my kindness and compassion. The least and the greatest alike will die in this land. They will not be buried. No one will mourn for them, cut themselves, or shave their heads to show their grief. No one is to offer food to people in mourning, to comfort them in their loss. Even if it is their fathers or mothers who have died, do not give them a cup of consolation. Nor are you to go into a house where people are feasting, to enjoy their festivities. For here is what YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will silence in this land the joyful shout of bride and bridegroom, the sounds of gladness and laughter. It will happen in your lifetime, before your very eyes.
