SCRIPTURE

"And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another." — Ezekiel 24:23 (ASV)

Ye shall pine away. —In the tumult, distress, and captivity of the approaching judgment there would be no opportunity for the outward display of grief; but all the more should it press upon them inwardly, and, according to the terrible threatening of Leviticus 26:39, they should pine away in their iniquity in their enemies’ land. In the original the preposition is the same here as in Leviticus, in your iniquity.
