11. Then set it empty upon its coals, that the bronze of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be melted in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12. She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13. In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon you.
14. I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I relent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord GOD.
15. Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
16. Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the turban of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet, and cover not your lips, and eat not man's bread of sorrow.
18. So I spoke unto the people in the morning: and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19. And the people said unto me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you so do?
20. Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21. Speak unto the house of Israel,
22. And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23. And your turban shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24. Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do: and when this comes, you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
