6"Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut himself or shave his head for them.


In Context

3 For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:

4 "They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like refuse lying on the ground. They will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth."

5 For this is what the Lord says: "Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity from this people," declares the Lord .

6 "Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut himself or shave his head for them.

7 No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn for the dead-not even for a father or a mother-nor will anyone give them a drink to console them.

8 "And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.
