Jeremiah 16:7 in Context — Jeremiah 16
5 Porque assim diz o SENHOR: Não entres em casa de luto, nem vás para lamentar, nem mostre compaixão deles; pois deste povo eu tirei minha paz, bondade e misericórdia, diz o SENHOR.
6 E nesta terra morrerão grandes e pequenos; não serão sepultados, nem pranteados, nem por eles se cortarão, ou rasparão seus cabelos;
7 Nem repartirão pão aos que estiverem de luto, para consolá-los de seus mortos; nem lhes darão a beber copo de consolações pelo pai ou pela mãe.
8 Nem também entres em casa de banquete, para te sentares com eles para comer e beber;
9 Porque assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que farei cessar neste lugar, diante de vossos olhos e em vossos dias, toda voz de prazer e toda voz de alegria, toda voz de noivo e toda voz de noiva.
