Contextual Overview
1 This word of Adonai came to me: 2 "You are not to marry or have sons and daughters in this place. 3 For this is what Adonai says concerning the sons and daughters born here, as well as their mothers who gave birth to them and their fathers who conceived them in this land: 4 ‘They will die terrible deaths without being mourned or buried; they will be left on the ground like dung. They will die by the sword and by famine, and their corpses will be food for the birds in the air and the wild animals.' 5 "For here is what Adonai says: ‘Do not enter any house where there is mourning; don't lament them, and don't grieve for them; for I have removed my shalom from this people, as well as my grace and compassion,' says Adonai . 6 ‘Great and small alike will die in this land; they will not be buried, people will not lament them; nor will they cut their flesh or shave their heads for them. 7 No one will prepare a meal for those in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; and no one will give them a cup to drink, to console them for their father or mother.' 8 And you are not to go into any house where there is celebrating to sit with them, eating and drinking. 9 For here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: ‘In this place, while you are still alive, before your very eyes, I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bridegroom and bride.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word of the Lord came unto me, saying. The Targum is, the word of prophecy from the Lord: whether this is a new prophecy, or the former continued, is not certain; the latter seems probable. This introduction is omitted in the Septuagint and Arabic versions.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In this prophecy Jeremiah 16:1-18, the punishment of the people is set forth in even sterner terms than in the last. The whole land is likened to a desert covered with the bodies of the dead, who lie unbemoaned and uncared for; and the prophet himself is commanded to abstain from the common usages of mankind that his motto of life, as well as his words, may warn the people of the greatness of the approaching calamity. There is, however, to be finally a return from exile, but only after the idolatry of the nation has been severely punished. The prophecy was probably written about the close of Jehoiakim’s reign.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI
On account of the evils which threatened his country, the
prophet is forbidden to encumber himself with a wife and
family, or to bear any share in the little joys and sorrows of
his neighbours, which were to be forgotten and absorbed in
those public calamities, 1-9,
which their sins should draw on them, 10-13.
A future restoration however is intimated, 14, 15,
after these calamities should be endured, 16-18;
and the conversion of the Gentiles is foretold, 19-21.
NOTES ON CHAP. XVI
Verse Jeremiah 16:1. The word of the Lord came also unto me — This discourse Dahler supposes to have been delivered some time in the reign of Jehoiakim.
