Ezekiel 24:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ The people asked me, “Why are you acting like this?”

²⁰ So I said to them, “The Lord spoke to me and told me ²¹ to give you Israelites this message: You are proud of the strength of the Temple. You like to look at it and to visit it, but the Lord is going to profane it. And the younger members of your families who are left in Jerusalem will be killed in war.
