Ezekiel 24:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Then I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me: ²¹ Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and your heart’s desire; and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. ²² And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your upper lip or eat the bread of mourners.^[a]
