Jeremiah 16:2

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

“You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”

In context

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “You must not marry or 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 the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:

4 “They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
