Speak thou to the house of Israel, The Lord God saith these things, Lo! I shall defoul my saintuary, the pride of your empire, and the desirable thing of your eyes, and on which your soul dreadeth; and your sons and your daughters, which ye left, shall fall by sword. (Speak thou to the house of Israel, The Lord God saith these things, Behold! I shall defile my sanctuary, the pride of your empire, and the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul, (or your heart), delighteth in; and your sons and your daughters, whom ye left behind, shall fall by the sword.)
