Exegesis
The verse employs parallel negations with the imperfect verbs yipresu {יִפְרְסוּ | yip-rə-sū} ‘they will break bread’ and yashku {יַשְׁק֤וּ | yaš-qū} ‘they will give to drink’, each introduced by the negative particle ve-lo {וְלֹֽא־ | wə-lō} to signal the cessation of traditional mourning rites.
In context — Jeremiah 16:7
No one will break bread for them in mourning to comfort him for the dead, and no one will give him the cup of consolations to drink for his father or his mother.
