Exegesis
The paired Nifal verbs lo yissafedu {לֹא יִסָּפְדוּ | lōʾ yis-sāp̄-ḏû} and ve-lo yikkaveru {וְלֹא יִקָּבֵרוּ | wə-lōʾ yik-kā-ḇê-rû} convey absence of mourning rites and burial, highlighting societal collapse.
In context — Jeremiah 16:4
They will die from deadly sicknesses; they will not be mourned , and they will not be buried . They will be like dung on the open face of the ground. They will be finished off by the sword and by famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
