Ezekiel 24:19-21

¹⁹ Then the people said to me, ‘Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting in this way?’ 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.
