Verse 4
Jeremiah 16:4
World English Bible, British Edition
4
“They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will
they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword
and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals 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.
