Jeremiah 16:5-7
Living Bible
5 Do not mourn or weep for them, for I have removed my protection and my peace from them—taken away my loving-kindness and my mercies. 6 Both great and small shall die in this land, unburied and unmourned, and their friends shall not cut themselves nor shave their heads as signs of sorrow (as is their heathen custom). 7 No one shall comfort the mourners with a meal nor send them a cup of wine expressing grief for their parents’ death.

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the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(A) from this people,” declares the Lord. 6 “Both high and low will die in this land.(B) They will not be buried or mourned,(C)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.
