Ezekiel 24:13-23 World English Bible (WEB)

13. In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

14. I, Yahweh, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord Yahweh.

15. Also Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

16. Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

17. Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat men’s bread.

18. So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

19. The people said to me, Won’t you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?

20. Then I said to them, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

21. Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.

22. You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

23. Your tires shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
