19 And the people said to me: 'Why won't you explain to us what these things signify, which you are doing?'
20 And I said to them: 'The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 'Speak to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will defile my sanctuary, the pride of your realm, and the desire of your eyes, and the dread of your soul. Your sons and your daughters, whom you have forsaken, will fall by the sword.'
22 And so, you shall do just as I have done. You shall not cover your faces, and you shall not eat the food of those who mourn.
23 You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet. You shall not lament, and you shall not weep. Instead, you will waste away in your iniquities, and each one will groan to his brother.
