6. From the least to the greatest,all will die in this land,and there will be no funerals or time of mourning.No one will gash themselves in griefor shave their heads in sorrow.
7. No one will bring food for the mourneras comfort for the dead.No one will offer a cup of consolationfor the loss of father or mother.
8. Don’t enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.
9. This is what the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims:Before your very eyes and in your own lifetime, I will silence in this place the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bridegroom and the bride.
