Ezekiel 24:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Then I said to them, “The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me. He said, ²¹ ‘Say to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, This is what the Lord God says: I am going to ·dishonor [desecrate; profane; ^Critually] my ·Temple [sanctuary]. ·You are proud of the strength it gives you [^L…the pride of your power] and ·you look at it with love and tenderness [^L…the delight of your eyes and the desire of your soul]. But your sons and daughters that you left behind in Jerusalem will fall dead by the sword. ²² When that happens, you will act as I have: you will not cover your ·face [lower face; or mustache], and you will not eat the ·food people eat when they are sad about a death [or food brought by others; ^Lbread of men].
