Jer 16:2-4 | NASB1995 | STEP | “ You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place .”

Jeremiah 16:2-4

2 “You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place.” 3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and concerning their ^amothers who bear them, and their ^bfathers who beget them in this land: 4 “They will ^cdie of deadly diseases, they ^dwill not be lamented or buried; they will be as ^edung on the surface of the ground and come to an end by sword and famine, and their carcasses will become food for the ^fbirds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth.”
