Jeremiah 16:5-7
The Message
5-7 God continued: “Don’t enter a house where there’s mourning. Don’t go to the funeral. Don’t sympathize. I’ve quit caring about what happens to this people.” God’s Decree. “No more loyal love on my part, no more compassion. The famous and obscure will die alike here, unlamented and unburied. No funerals will be conducted, no one will give them a second thought, no one will care, no one will say, ‘I’m sorry,’ no one will so much as offer a cup of tea, not even for the mother or father.

Jeremiah 16:5-7
New International Version
5 For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(A) from this people,” declares the Lord. 6 “Both high and low will die in this land.(B) They will not be buried or mourned,(C) and no one will cut(D) themselves or shave(E) their head for the dead. 7 No one will offer food(F) to comfort those who mourn(G) for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console(H) them.
