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.
