26:024:016 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee
the desire of thine
eyes
with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor
weep,
neither
shall thy tears run down.
26:024:017 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.
26:024:018 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.
26:024:019 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou
not tell us what these
things
are to us, that thou doest so?
26:024:020 Then I answered them, The word of the lord
came unto me,
saying,
26:024:021 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.
26:024:022 And ye shall do as I have done: ye
shall not cover your lips,
nor
eat the bread of men.
26:024:023 And your tires shall be upon your heads,
and your shoes upon
your
feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall
pine away
for
your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
26:024:024 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according
to all that he hath
done
shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know
that I
am
the Lord god.
26:024:025 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be
in the day when I take
from
them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire
of
their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds,
their
sons
and their daughters,
26:024:026 That he that escapeth in that day shall
come unto thee, to
cause
thee to hear it with thine ears?
26:024:027 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to
him which is escaped,
and
thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou
shalt be a
sign
unto them; and they shall know that I am the lord.
26:025:001 The word of the lord came again unto me, saying,
26:025:002 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites,
and prophesy
against
them;
26:025:003 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word
of the Lord god;
Thus
saith the Lord god; Because thou saidst, Aha,
against my
sanctuary,
when it was profaned; and against the land of
Israel,
when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah,
when
they went into captivity;
26:025:004 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to
the men of the east
for
a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee,
and
make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy
fruit,
and
they shall drink thy milk.
