Commentary on Jeremiah 16:8

Theological / Devotional

The house of feasting. Not only was Jeremiah to avoid the place of mourning (see v. 5); he was also to refrain from attending any social occasion of gladness or merriment. In the solemn awareness of his solitary mission he was to remain aloof from such gatherings.
