²⁵ Jeremiah also ^(A)lamented for ^(B)Josiah. And to this day ^(C)all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. ^(D)They made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.

The People Mourn in Judgment

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts:

⁶ Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; ^(A)neither shall men lament for them, ^(B)cut themselves, nor ^(C)make themselves bald for them.

¹⁷ Sigh in silence, ^(A)make no mourning for the dead; ^(B)bind your turban on your head, and ^(C)put your sandals on your feet; ^(D)do not cover your ^[a]lips, and do not eat man’s bread of sorrow.”
