She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire (24:12) In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee (24:13) 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 repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD (24:14) Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (24:15) Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down (24:16) Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men (24:17) So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded (24:18) And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so]? (24:19) Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (24:20) Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword (24:21) And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men (24:22) And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another (24:23) Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD (24:24) Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, (24:25) [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears? (24:26) In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord
