Jeremiah 16:2 in context

  1. 1The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,
  2. 2Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
  3. 3For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:
  4. 4They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
