Ezekiel 24:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will now desecrate my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the delight of your eyes, the concern of your soul. The sons and daughters you left behind shall fall by the sword.(A) 22 [a]Then you shall do as I have done, not covering your beards nor eating the bread of mourning. 23 (B)Your turbans shall remain on your heads, your sandals on your feet. You shall not mourn or weep, but you shall waste away because of your sins and groan to one another.
