Ezekiel 24:20 BBE

¹⁸  So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.

¹⁹  And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?

²⁰  Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

²¹  Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

²²  And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.
