Jeremiah 16:2 Context
1The word of the Lord came also vnto me, saying; 2Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou haue sonnes nor daughters in this place. 3For thus sayth the Lord concerning the sonnes and concerning the daughters that are borne in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begate them in this land: 4They shal die of grieuous deaths, they shall not bee lamented, neither shall they be buried: but they shall be as doung vpon the face of the earth, and they shalbe consumed by the sword, and by famine, and their carkeises shall be meate for the foules of heauen, and for the beasts of the earth.
