Jeremiah 16:4-7 by a direful death they shall die; they shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall be for a spectacle on the face of the earth; they shall be for the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the air. By the sword they shall fall, and by famine they shall be consumed.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ by a direful death they shall die; they shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall be for a spectacle on the face of the earth; they shall be for the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the air. By the sword they shall fall, and by famine they shall be consumed. ⁵ Thus saith the Lord: Join not in their funeral entertainments; go not to make lamentation nor bewail them. ⁶ Since I have taken away My peace from this people, no lamentation shall be made for them; nor shall any cut themselves nor be shaved. ⁷ There shall neither be bread broken in their mourning, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall a cup of consolation be given to any one for his father or mother.
