lesserot - Ezekiel:24:15-27

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:15 @ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:16 @ Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:17 @ Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of men.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:18 @ And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:19 @ And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:20 @ And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:21 @ Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:22 @ And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:23 @ And your bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:24 @ Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:25 @ Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:26 @ On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy ears.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:27 @ On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
