19 And the people said to me, a“Will you not tell us what these things signify to us, that you behave so?”
20 Then I answered them, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, aI will profane My sanctuary, your arrogant boast, the desire of your eyes, the2 delight of your soul; band your sons and daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 And you shall do as I have done; ayou shall not cover your lips nor eat man’s bread of sorrow.
23 Your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; ayou shall neither mourn nor weep, but byou shall pine away in your iniquities and mourn with one another.
24 Thus aEzekiel is a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do; band when this comes, cyou shall know that I am the Lord God.’ ”
25 ‘And you, son of man—will it not be in the day when I take from them atheir stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and1 that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters:
26 that on that day aone who escapes will come to you to let you hear it with your ears?
