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?”
11. Then tell them I have said:People of Judah, your ancestors turned away from me; they rejected my laws and teachings and started worshipping other gods.
12. And you have done even worse! You are stubborn, and instead of obeying me, you do whatever evil comes to your mind.
13. So I will throw you into a land that you and your ancestors know nothing about, a place where you will have to worship other gods both day and night. And I won't feel the least bit sorry for you.
14. A time will come when you will again worship me. But you will no longer call me the Living God who rescued Israel from Egypt.
