Jeremiah 16:2 BBE

¹  Then again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

²  You are not to take a wife for yourself or have sons or daughters in this place.

³  For this is what the Lord has said about the sons and daughters who come to birth in this place, and about their mothers who have given them birth, and about their fathers who have given life to them in this land:

⁴  Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.
