Jeremiah 16:3-9 For of the chyldren that are borne in thys place, of their mother that haue borne them, and of their fathers that haue begotten them in thys lande, thus sayeth the Lorde:

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For of the chyldren that are borne in thys place, of their mother that haue borne them, and of their fathers that haue begotten them in thys lande, thus sayeth the Lorde: ⁴ They shal dye an horrible deeth, no man shall mourne for them, ner burye them, but they shall lye as donge vpon the earth. They shall perishe thorow the swearde and honger, and their bodyes shall be meate for the foules of the ayre, & beastes of the earth. ⁵ Agayne, thus sayeth the Lorde: Go not vnto them, that come together, for to mourne and wepe: for I haue taken my peace from this people (saieth the Lorde) yee my fauoure & my mercy. ⁶ And in this lande shall they dye, olde and yonge, and shall not be buryed: no man shall bewepe them, no man shall clyppe or shaue hym selfe for them. ⁷ There shal not one viset another, to mourne with them for their deed, or to comforte them. One shall not offre another the cuppe of consolacyon, to forget their heuynes for father & mother. ⁸ Thou shalt not go in to their feaste house, to syt downe, moche lesse to eate or drincke with them. ⁹ For thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes the God of Israell: Beholde, I shall take awaye out of this place, the voyce of myrth and gladnesse, the voyce of the brydegrome and of the bryde: yee & that in youre dayes, that ye maye se it.
