Ezekiel 24:16-23
16“SonH1121 of manH120, beholdH2009, I am about to takeH3947 from you 1whatH4261 isH4261 preciousH4261 to your eyesH5869 with a 2fatalH4046 blowH4046; but you shall not 3mournH5594 and you shall not weepH1058, and your 4tearsH1832 shall not comeH935.
17GroanH602 silentlyH1826; doH6213 5noH3808 mourningH60 for the deadH4191. BindH2280 on your turbanH6287 and putH7760 your sandalsH5275 on your feetH7272, and do not 6coverH5844 your mustacheH8222, and 7do not eatH398 the 8breadH3899 of other peopleH376.”
18So I spokeH1696 to the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242, and in the eveningH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191. And in the morningH1242 I didH6213 as I was commandedH6680.
19And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to me, “Will you not tellH5046 us whatH4100 theseH428 thingsH428 mean for us, that you are doingH6213?”
20Then I saidH559 to them, “The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559,
21‘SpeakH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I am about to profaneH2490 My sanctuaryH4720, the prideH1347 of your powerH5797, 9that whichH4261 isH4261 preciousH4261 in your eyesH5869 and the longingH4263 of your soulH5315; and your 10sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 whomH834 you have leftH5800 behindH5800 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
22And you will doH6213 justH3512 asH3512 I have doneH6213; you will not 11coverH5844 your mustacheH8222, and you will not eatH398 the 12breadH3899 of other peopleH376.
23Your turbansH6287 will be on your headsH7218, and your sandalsH5275 on your feetH7272. You 13will not mournH5594 and you will not weepH1058; but 14you will rotH4743 awayH4743 in your guiltyH5771 deedsH5771, and you will groanH5098 15to oneH376 anotherH251.
