Jeremiah 16:7

Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

Neither shall ... tear themselves - rather, "break bread" - namely, that eaten at the funeral-feast (; ; ; ). 'Bread' is to be supplied to 'break,' as ; (cf. "take" food) (Gen ; ; ). 'Bread' is to be supplied to 'break,' as ; (cf. "take" food) ().

Neither shall men give them the cup of consolation ... for their father or mother. It was the Oriental custom for friends to send viands and wine (the "cup of consolation") to console relatives in mourning-feasts-e.g., children under the death of a "father" or "mother."
