Ezekiel 24:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ So I responded, “This message came to me from the Lord: ²¹ ‘Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: “Look! I’m about to profane my sanctuary, the source of your proud strength, the desire of your eyes, and the object of your affection. Your sons and daughters, whom you’ve left behind, will die by the sword. ²² That’s why you will soon be doing what I’ve just done. You are not to cover your mouth^[a] or eat what your comforters bring to you.^[b]
