Verse 4
Jeremiah 16:4
Bible in Basic English
4
Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

Those who die of diseases shall not be mourned and shall not be buried; they will be like dung on the face of the ground, and by sword and by famine they shall fall, and their carcasses shall be for food for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth.
