5. When someone dies, don't visit the family or show any sorrow. I will no longer love or bless or have any pity on the people of Judah.

7. No one will bring food and wine to help comfort those who are mourning the death of their father or mother.

8. Don't even set foot in a house where there is eating and drinking and celebrating.

9. Warn the people of Judah that I, the Lord All-Powerful, will put an end to all their parties and wedding celebrations.

10. They will ask, “Why has the Lord our God threatened us with so many disasters? Have we done something wrong or sinned against him?”
