Jeremiah 16:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 When someone dies, don't visit the family or show any sorrow. I will no longer love or bless or have any pity on the people of Judah. 6 Rich and poor alike will die and be left unburied. No one will mourn and show their sorrow by cutting themselves or shaving their heads.[a] 7 No one will bring food and wine to help comfort those who are mourning the death of their father or mother.
