Jeremiah Forbidden to Marry, to Mourn, or to Feast The LORD’s message came to me,
“Do not get married and do not have children here in this land.
For I, the LORD, tell you what will happen to the children who are born here in this land and to the men and women who are their mothers and fathers.
They will die of deadly diseases. No one will mourn for them. They will not be buried. Their dead bodies will lie like manure spread on the ground. They will be killed in war or die of starvation. Their corpses will be food for the birds and wild animals.
“Moreover I, the LORD, tell you:‘Do not go into a house where they are having a funeral meal. Do not go there to mourn and express your sorrow for them. For I have stopped showing them my good favor, my love, and my compassion. I, the LORD, so affirm it!
Rich and poor alike will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned. People will not cut their bodies or shave off their hair to show their grief for them.
