Jeremiah 16:8 in Context — Jeremiah 16

6 Y morirán en esta tierra grandes y chicos: no se enterrarán, ni los plañirán, ni se arañarán, ni se mesarán por ellos;

7 Ni por ellos partirán [pan] por luto, para consolarlos de [sus] muertos; ni les darán á beber vaso de consolaciones por su padre ó por su madre.

8 Asimismo no entres en casa de convite, para sentarte con ellos á comer ó á beber.

9 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel; He aquí que yo haré cesar en este lugar, delante de vuestros ojos y en vuestros días, toda voz de gozo y toda voz de alegría, toda voz de esposo y toda voz de esposa.

10 Y acontecerá que cuando anunciares á este pueblo todas estas cosas, te dirán ellos: ¿Por qué habló Jehová sobre nosotros todo este mal tan grande? ¿y qué maldad es la nuestra, ó qué pecado [es] el nuestro, que cometiéramos contra Jehová nuestro Dios?
