17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thy head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men.
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 And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?
20 Then I answered them, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellence 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.
