Jer 16:3-4 | MHM | STEP | v. 3–4 : God explains why Jeremiah must not marry. He says, The sons and daughters born in this place shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried (Jeremiah 16:3–4 ). The coming judgment will bring death by sword and famine, and the dead will be left unburied, exposed to birds and wild animals. This shows the severity of God’s punishment and the hopelessness of the situation.
