Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 16 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah receives exceptional commands: not to marry, not to participate in mourning, and not to participate in feasts. His own life becomes a sign of the imminence of judgment. Exile will be so radical that it will alter the normal structures of family, mourning, and celebration.

Und man wird auch nicht unter sie Brot austeilen bei der Klage, sie zu trösten über die Leiche, und ihnen auch nicht aus dem Trostbecher zu trinken geben über Vater und Mutter.
Ni por ellos partirán pan por luto, para consolarlos de sus muertos; ni les darán a beber vaso de consolaciones por su padre o por su madre.
On ne rompra pas le pain dans le deuil Pour consoler quelqu'un au sujet d'un mort, Et l'on n'offrira pas la coupe de consolation Pour un père ou pour une mère.
e non si spartirà loro pane per lo duolo, per consolarli del morto; e non si darà loro a bere la coppa delle consolazioni per padre, nè per madre di alcuno.
E não se partirá pão para consolá-los por causa de seus mortos; nem lhes darão a beber do copo de consolação, pelo pai ou pela mãe de alguém.
有喪事,人不為他們擘餅 ,也不因死人安慰他們;他們喪父喪母,人也不給他們一杯酒安慰他們。
