Ezekiel 24:16-24

Thomson(i) 16 Son of man, Behold I take from thee the desires of thine eyes with a stroke. Thou must not mourn, nor utter lamentation. 17 Let sighing for blood and grief of loins be suppressed. Thy hair shall be platted on thy head and thy sandals shall be on thy feet. Thou must not receive comfort from their lips, nor eat funeral bread. 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning as he had ordered me in the evening. And when I did in the morning as I was commanded, 19 the people said to me, Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean which thou art doing? 20 Thereupon I said to them, A word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are moved with compassion; and your sons and your daughters whom you left shall fall by the sword: 22 and you shall do as I have done. You shall not receive comfort from their mouth nor eat funeral bread; 23 your locks of hair shall be on your head, and your sandals on your feet; you shall neither utter lamentations nor shed tears; but shall pine away for your iniquities and exhort one another. 24 And Ezekiel shall be for a sign to you, [according to all that he hath done you shall do when these things happen] and you shall know that I am the Lord.
