Jeremiah’s Life-Style and Message

1 The word of the Lord also came to me, saying,
2 “You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.”
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them and their fathers who begot them in this land:
4 “They shall die agruesome deaths; they shall not be blamented nor shall they be cburied, but they shall be dlike refuse on the face of the earth. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their ecorpses shall be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.”  
5 For thus says the Lord: a“Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people,” says the Lord, “lovingkindness and mercies.  
6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; aneither shall men lament for them, bcut themselves, nor cmake themselves bald for them.  
7 Nor shall men break bread in mourning for them, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to adrink for their father or their mother.  
8 Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.”
9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, aI will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of1 mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.  
10 “And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, a‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’  
11 then you shall say to them, a‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law.
