Jeremiah 16:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ “Do not go into a ·house where the people are having a feast [banquet house; ^Ldrinking house] to sit down to eat and drink, ⁹ because this is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: I will soon stop the sounds of joy and gladness and the happy sounds of brides and bridegrooms in this place. This will happen ·during your lifetime [^Lin your days and before your eyes].

¹⁰ “When you tell this people [^Cof Judah] these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the Lord said these ·terrible [evil; harmful] things to us? What ·have we done wrong [^Lis our iniquity]? What sin have we done against the Lord our God?’
