Ezekiel 24:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Then I said to them: This is what the Lord God said to me, ²¹ “Say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I am prepared to desecrate my sanctuary, the stronghold in which you take such pride, the delight of your eyes, and the desire of your heart. Your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

²² “Then you shall do as I have done. You shall not cover your upper lip or eat the bread of mourners.
