Jeremiah

Jeremiah 16:6–7

⁶“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them. ⁷No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
