16:1 The
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
16:2 "You
shall
not
take
a
wife,
nor
shall
you
have
sons
or
daughters
in
this
place.
16:3 For
thus
says
the
LORD
concerning
the
sons
and
daughters
who
are
born
in
this
place,
and
concerning
the
mothers
who
bore
them
and
the
fathers
who
fathered
them
in
this
land:
16:4 They
shall
die
of
deadly
diseases.
They
shall
not
be
lamented,
nor
shall
they
be
buried.
They
shall
be
as
dung
on
the
surface
of
the
ground.
They
shall
perish
by
the
sword
and
by
famine,
and
their
dead
bodies
shall
be
food
for
the
birds
of
the
air
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
16:5 "For
thus
says
the
LORD:
Do
not
enter
the
house
of
mourning,
or
go
to
lament
or
grieve
for
them,
for
I
have
taken
away
my
peace
from
this
people,
my
steadfast
love
and
mercy,
declares
the
LORD.
16:6 Both
great
and
small
shall
die
in
this
land.
They
shall
not
be
buried,
and
no
one
shall
lament
for
them
or
cut
himself
or
make
himself
bald
for
them.
16:7 No
one
shall
break
bread
for
the
mourner,
to
comfort
him
for
the
dead,
nor
shall
anyone
give
him
the
cup
of
consolation
to
drink
for
his
father
or
his
mother.
16:8 You
shall
not
go
into
the
house
of
feasting
to
sit
with
them,
to
eat
and
drink.
16:9 For
thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
silence
in
this
place,
before
your
eyes
and
in
your
days,
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
gladness,
the
voice
of
the
bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride.
16:10 "And
when
you
tell
this
people
all
these
words,
and
they
say
to
you,
'Why
has
the
LORD
pronounced
all
this
great
evil
against
us
What
is
our
iniquity
What
is
the
sin
that
we
have
committed
against
the
LORD
our
God'
16:11 then
you
shall
say
to
them:
'Because
your
fathers
have
forsaken
me,
declares
the
LORD,
and
have
gone
after
other
gods
and
have
served
and
worshiped
them,
and
have
forsaken
me
and
have
not
kept
my
law,
16:12 and
because
you
have
done
worse
than
your
fathers,
for
behold,
every
one
of
you
follows
his
stubborn,
evil
will,
refusing
to
listen
to
me.
16:13 Therefore
I
will
hurl
you
out
of
this
land
into
a
land
that
neither
you
nor
your
fathers
have
known,
and
there
you
shall
serve
other
gods
day
and
night,
for
I
will
show
you
no
favor.'
16:14 "Therefore,
behold,
the
days
are
coming,
declares
the
LORD,
when
it
shall
no
longer
be
said,
'As
the
LORD
lives
who
brought
up
the
people
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,'
16:15 but
'As
the
LORD
lives
who
brought
up
the
people
of
Israel
out
of
the
north
country
and
out
of
all
the
countries
where
he
had
driven
them.'
For
I
will
bring
them
back
to
their
own
land
that
I
gave
to
their
fathers.
16:16 "Behold,
I
am
sending
for
many
fishers,
declares
the
LORD,
and
they
shall
catch
them.
And
afterward
I
will
send
for
many
hunters,
and
they
shall
hunt
them
from
every
mountain
and
every
hill,
and
out
of
the
clefts
of
the
rocks.
16:17 For
my
eyes
are
on
all
their
ways.
They
are
not
hidden
from
me,
nor
is
their
iniquity
concealed
from
my
eyes.
16:18 But
first
I
will
doubly
repay
their
iniquity
and
their
sin,
because
they
have
polluted
my
land
with
the
carcasses
of
their
detestable
idols,
and
have
filled
my
inheritance
with
their
abominations."
16:19 O
LORD,
my
strength
and
my
stronghold,
my
refuge
in
the
day
of
trouble,
to
you
shall
the
nations
come
from
the
ends
of
the
earth
and
say:
"Our
fathers
have
inherited
nothing
but
lies,
worthless
things
in
which
there
is
no
profit.
16:20 Can
man
make
for
himself
gods
Such
are
not
gods!"
16:21 "Therefore,
behold,
I
will
make
them
know,
this
once
I
will
make
them
know
my
power
and
my
might,
and
they
shall
know
that
my
name
is
the
LORD."
