Ezekiel 24:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 to speak to the family of Israel. The Lord God said, ‘Look, I will destroy my holy place. You are proud of that place and sing songs of praise about it. You love to see it. You really love that place. But I will destroy it, and your children that you left behind will be killed in battle. 22 But you will do the same things that I have done about my dead wife. You will not cover your mustache or eat the food people normally eat when someone dies. 23 You will wear your turbans and your sandals. You will not show your sadness publicly or cry publicly, but you will waste away with guilt and talk to each other quietly about your grief.

New International Version
21 Say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary(A)—the stronghold in which you take pride,(B) the delight of your eyes,(C) the object of your affection. The sons and daughters(D) you left behind will fall by the sword.(E) 22 And you will do as I have done. You will not cover your mustache and beard(F) or eat the customary food of mourners.(G) 23 You will keep your turbans(H) on your heads and your sandals(I) on your feet. You will not mourn(J) or weep but will waste away(K) because of[a] your sins and groan among yourselves.(L)
