CLV(i)
16 `Son of man, lo, I am taking from you the desire of your eyes by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come."
17 Cease to groan, [for] the dead you do make no mourning, your bonnet bind on you, and your shoes you do put on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men you do not eat.'"
18 And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded."
19 And the people say unto me, `Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?'"
20 And I say unto them, `A word of Yahweh has been unto me, saying:"
21 Say to the house of Israel:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, by sword they do fall."
22 And you have done as I have done, On the upper lip you are not covered, And bread of men you do not eat."
23 And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled one unto another."
