Ezekiel 24:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ ‘Tell the nation of Israel, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: I’m going to dishonor my holy place. You brag that my holy place gives you strength. It’s the thing you love the most. It’s your hearts’ desire. So the sons and daughters that you left behind will die in battle. ²² Then you must do as I did. Don’t cover your faces or eat the food that mourners eat. ²³ Leave your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. Don’t grieve or cry! You will waste away because of your guilt and groan to one another.
