King James Version
“Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:”
Context
3For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
4They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
5For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, lovingkindness and mercies.
6Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
7Neither shall tear for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
9For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
