Jer 16:2-4 | NASB2020 | 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 this is what the Lord says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and concerning their ^amothers who give birth to them, and their ^bfathers who father them in this land: 4 “They will ^cdie of deadly diseases, they ^dwill not be mourned or buried; they will be like ^edung on the surface of the ground. And they will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the ^fbirds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
