^{21 Ref} Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

^{22 Ref} And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.

^{23 Ref} And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.

^{24 Ref} And Ezekiel will be a sign to you; everything he has done you will do: when this takes place, you will be certain that I am the Lord.

^{25 Ref} And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.
