ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૬:૬
“તેથી મોટા તથા નાના બન્ને આ દેશમાં મૃત્યુ પામશે. તેઓને દફનાવવામાં આવશે નહિ. તેઓને લીધે કોઈ શોક કરશે નહિ, કોઈ પોતાના શરીર પર ઘા કરશે નહિ અને કોઈ પોતાનું માથું મુંડાવશે નહિ.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १६:६
इस कारण इस देश के छोटे-बड़े सब मरेंगे, न तो इनको मिट्टी दी जाएगी, न लोग छाती पीटेंगे, न अपना शरीर चीरेंगे, और न सिर मुँड़ाएँगे। इनके लिये कोई शोक करनेवालों को रोटी न बाटेंगे कि शोक में उन्हें शान्ति दें;
