Ezekiel 24:17-27

17Sigh, but not aloud, makeH7760 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191; bindH2280 thy headtire upon thee, and putH4191 thy shoes upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lips, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH376. 18So I spake unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242; and at even my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I did in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.

19And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto me, Wilt thou not tellH5046 us what these thingsH428 are to us, that thou doest so? 20Then I saidH559 unto them, The wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 21Speak unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I will profaneH2490 my sanctuaryH4720, the prideH1347 of your power, the desireH5315 of your eyesH5869, and that which your soulH5315 pitieth; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 whom ye have leftH5800 behind shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. 22And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not coverH5844 your lips, nor eatH398 the breadH3899 of menH376. 23And your tires shall be upon your headsH7218, and your shoes upon your feetH7272: ye shall not mournH5594 nor weepH1058; but ye shall pine awayH4743 in your iniquitiesH5771, and moan oneH376 toward another. 24Thus shall EzekielH3168 beH1961 unto you a signH4159; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 Jehovah.

25And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, shall it not be in the dayH3117 when I takeH3947 from them their strength, the joyH4885 of their gloryH8597, the desireH5315 of their eyesH5869, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, 26that in that dayH3117 he that escapeth shall comeH935 unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine earsH241? 27In that dayH3117 shall thy mouthH6310 beH1961 openedH6605 to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speakH1696, and beH1961 no more dumb: so shalt thou beH1961 a signH4159 unto them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah.
