Jeremiah 16:7

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.

Cross-reference

Job 42:11 Contrast

Job 42:11 describes friends eating bread and comforting Job — the very consolation that Jeremiah prophesies will be withheld.

Proverbs 31:6 commands giving strong drink to the perishing — the 'cup of consolation' that Jeremiah says no one will give.

Proverbs 31:7 says wine helps forget misery — the comfort absent in Jeremiah's judgment where no cup is offered.

Ezekiel 24:17 commands the prophet to forgo mourning rituals — a direct parallel to the forbidden consolation in Jeremiah.

2 Samuel 3:35 shows David fasting from bread during mourning — a voluntary abstention, unlike the involuntary withholding of bread in Jeremiah.

Hosea 9:4 Parallel

Hosea 9:4 mentions 'mourners' bread' that defiles — a similar concept of bread associated with mourning, but in a context of corrupted worship.
