Jeremiah 16:8

Disaster Predicted

7No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.8You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.9For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
