2 “You do not take a wife to yourself, || Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.” 3 For thus said YHWH, || Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, || And of their mothers—those bearing them, || And of their fathers—those begetting them in this land: 4 “They die painful deaths, || They are not lamented, nor are they buried, || For they are dung on the face of the ground, || And are consumed by sword and by famine, || And their carcass has been for food || To the bird of the heavens, || And to the beast of the earth.” Jeremiah 16:2-4, Literal Standard Version.
