Brenton(i)
16 Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thine eyes by violence: thou shalt not lament, neither shalt thou weep.
17 Thou shalt groan for blood, and have mourning upon thy loins; thy hair shall not be braided upon thee, and thy sandals shall be on thy feet; thou shalt in no wise be comforted by their lips, and thou shalt not eat the bread of men.
18 And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.
19 And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are that thou doest?
20 Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom ye have left, shall fall by the sword.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not be comforted at their mouth, and ye shall not eat the bread of men.
23 And your hair shall be upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall ye at all lament or weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.
