Ezekiel 24:22-24

24:22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lip or eat food brought by others. ¹  24:23 Your turbans will be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn or weep, but you will rot ²  for your iniquities ³  and groan among yourselves. 24:24 Ezekiel will be an object lesson for you; you will do all that he has done. When it happens, then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.’
