Ezekiel:24:17-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the people said unto me ,
Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us ,
that thou doest so ?
*
Then I answered them ,
The word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
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 .
*
And ye shall do as I have done :
ye shall not cover your lips ,
nor eat the bread of men .
