The LORD’s word “You shall not take a wife”, and the commands about the house of mourning and the house of feasting

"너는 이 땅에서 아내를 취하지 말며" 하신 여호와의 말씀과 상가와 잔치집에 대한 명령

Jeremiah 16:1–9: the text says, “Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.’ For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land: ‘They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.’ For the LORD says, ‘Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,’ says the LORD, ‘even loving kindness and tender mercies. Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them. Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother. You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.’ For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before 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.’” No verse of 16:1–9 names the one the word came to, and the text does not say that he did as he was commanded. WEB sets the opening words of 16:3 and 16:5 (“For the LORD says”) and of 16:9 (“For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says”) outside its quotation marks, and does not close at 16:9 the quotation it opens there. The Korean Revised Version reads at 16:2 이 땅에서 (in this land), where WEB reads “in this place”.
