"Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place. "
— Jeremiah 16:2, American Standard Version
“Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.”
“You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
““Do not get married and do not have children here in this land.”
“Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons and daughters in this place.”
“You are not to take a wife for yourself or have sons or daughters in this place.”
“Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.”
The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
For thus saith Jehovah 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:
They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.
