16Son 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 .a17Forbearb 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.18

21Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the LordGOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soulpitieth; 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 cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.23
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 mournone toward another.24
