10 And when one’s relative, the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say, ^c“Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

4 They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. ^dThey shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.

6 Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or ^fcut himself or make himself ^gbald for them.
