Ezekiel 24:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Then the people asked me, “Tell us, what do the things you are doing mean for us?”

²⁰ Then I said to them, “The Lord spoke his word to me. He said, ²¹ ‘Say to the people of Israel, This is what the Lord God says: I am going to dishonor my Temple. You think it gives you strength. You are proud of it. You love to look at it. It makes you happy. But your sons and daughters that you left behind in Jerusalem will fall dead by the sword.
