22
Then you will do what I have done. You will not cover your faces or eat the food that mourners eat.
23
You will not go bareheaded or barefoot or mourn or cry. You will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan to one another.
24
Then I will be a sign to you; you will do everything I have done. The LORD says that when this happens, you will know that he is the Sovereign LORD."
