Jeremiah 16:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 This is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters who are born in the land of Judah and about their mothers and fathers: 4 “They will die from terrible disease. And no one will cry for them or bury them. Their bodies will lie on the ground like dung. Or they will die in war or starve to death. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth.”
5 So the Lord says, “Jeremiah, don’t go into a house where people are eating a funeral meal. Don’t go there to cry for the dead or to show your sorrow. Don’t do these things, because I have taken back my blessing. I will not be kind to the people of Judah. I will not feel sorry for them.” This message is from the Lord.

Jeremiah 16:3-5
New International Version
3 For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:(A) 4 “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried(B) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(C) They will perish by sword and famine,(D) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(E)
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the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(F) from this people,” declares the Lord.
