Ezekiel 24:19-25 And the people say unto me, `Dost thou not declare to us what these are to us, that thou art doing?'

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ And the people say unto me, `Dost thou not declare to us what these are to us, that thou art doing?' ²⁰ And I say unto them, `A word of Jehovah hath been unto me, saying: ²¹ Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall. ²² And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat. ²³ And your bonnets are on your heads, And your shoes are on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another. ²⁴ And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in—ye have known that I am the Lord Jehovah. ²⁵ And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?
