Come not to the home of mourning,

Nor go about to lament,[439]

For my Peace I have swept away—

Away from this people.[440]

Nor enter the house of feasting, 8

To sit with them eating and drinking

For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; 9

Lo, I make to cease from this place,

To your eyes, in your days,

The voices of joy and rejoicing,
