Jeremiah_Chapter 16
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
You are not allowed to marry or have children in this place.
For this is what the Lord says about the children born in this place, and about the parents who raised them in this land:,
They will die in great suffering, with no one to mourn, they will not be buried, they will be like manure on the ground, they will be destroyed by the sword and famine. Their corpses will serve as food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
This is what the Lord says: Do not enter the mourning house, do not mourn, and do not mourn for them, for I have taken away my peace, love, and mercy from this people. This is what the Lord has said.
Even the great and the small shall die in this land, and shall not be buried. No one will mourn for them, no one will cut their bodies with a knife, nor will they make their heads bald.
When they have a funeral, no one will break bread for them, because the dead comfort them. They lost their father and mother, and no one gave them a glass of wine to comfort them.
You shall not enter the house of feasts, nor sit with them to eat and drink.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I will bring to an end the voice of joy and joy, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, while you are still alive before your eyes.
Tell this people all these words. They asked you, ‘Why did the Lord say,’ Will you bring this great disaster against us? ‘? What sins do we have? What sins have we committed to the Lord our God?
Then say to them, ‘Lord, because your ancestors have abandoned me, followed other gods, served and worshipped, and did not keep my law.’,
And you have done more evil than your ancestors. Because everyone follows their own stubborn and disgusting behavior, and even doesn’t listen to me,
So I will drive you out of this land until you and your ancestors do not know each other. You will serve other gods day and night there, because I will not show kindness to you.
The days are coming, declares the Lord, when no one will swear by the living Lord, who brought the Israelites up from the land of Egypt,
But I will swear by the living Lord, who brought the Israelites up from the land of the north and the nations to which they were driven, and I will bring them back into the land that I gave to their ancestors before.
The Lord said, I will call many fishermen to bring up the Israelites, and then I will call many hunters to hunt them from every mountain, every hill, and every cave.
Because my eyes observe all their actions. They cannot hide from me, nor can their sins be hidden from my eyes.
I will first double the retribution for their sins and sins. Because they have defiled my land with detestable corpses, and filled my inheritance with detestable things.
O Lord, you are my strength and my fortress. On the day of suffering, it is my refuge. The nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, saying, What our ancestors have inherited is nothing but falsehood, a worthless thing.
How can a person create gods for themselves? Actually, this is not a god.
The Lord said, I will let them know, this time I will let them know my hands and my power. They will know that my name is Jehovah.
