Jer 16:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6–7 : Both the great and the small will die, and there will be no one to mourn for them. God says, They shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them (Jeremiah 16:6 ). Traditional mourning practices will be abandoned because of the overwhelming number of deaths. People will be too consumed by their own grief and survival to comfort one another.
