MLV(i)
16 Son of man, behold, I take the desire of your eyes away from you with a stroke. Yet you will neither mourn nor weep. Neither will your tears run down.
17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress upon you and put your shoes upon your feet. And do not cover your lips and do not eat the bread of men.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning and at evening my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded. 19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?
20 Then I said to them, The word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 21 Speak to the house of Israel, The lord Jehovah says thus: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your* power, the desire of your* eyes and what your* soul has compassion. And your* sons and your* daughters whom you* have left behind will fall by the sword.
22 And you* will do as I have done. You* will not cover your* lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 And your* coverings will be upon your* heads and your* shoes upon your* feet. You* will not mourn nor weep, but you* will pine away in your* iniquities and moan one toward another.
