Dan engkau, anak manusia, bukankah begini akan terjadi? Pada hari Aku mengambil dari mereka benteng mereka, perhiasannya yang menggirangkan hatinya, kenikmatan matanya dan yang dirindukan jiwanya, anak-anak mereka lelaki dan perempuan,
Maka engkau, hai anak Adam! bukankah akan jadi ini, pada hari Aku melalukan dari padanya kemegahannya dan kesukaannya dan perhiasannya dan kekenangan matanya dan yang dirindukan hatinya, segala anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day,.... This question is to be answered in the affirmative:
when I take from them their strength; their king and kingdom, their princes and nobles, their soldiers and men of might and war, their wealth and substance, their city and the inhabitants of it; or rather their temple, in which they placed their strong confidence: so the Targum,
"in the day when I shall take from them the house of their sanctuary;''
and which is called "the joy of their glory"; what they rejoiced and gloried in:
the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their mind, their sons and their daughters; for to these may those phrases be applied; as well as to the temple; they being desirable to them, to be spared and continued, and on whom the affections of their hearts were set, and for whose welfare they were very solicitous. So some render it "the burden or care of their souls" p; though the Targum applies this, as the other to the temple, paraphrasing it,
"and the delight of their eyes shall be taken from them, and the beloved of their souls, which is better to them than their sons and their daughters.''
p את משא נפשם "onus animae eoram", Munster; "curam, [vel] solicitudinem"; so some in Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The death of Ezekiel’s wife took place in the evening of the same day that he delivered the foregoing prophecy. This event was to signify to the people that the Lord would take from them all that was most dear to them; and - owing to the extraordinary nature of the times - quiet lamentation for the dead, according to the usual forms of mourning, would be impossible.
Ezekiel 24:17
The priest in general was to mourn for his dead (Leviticus 21:1 ff); but Ezekiel was to be an exception to the rule. The “tire” was the priest’s mitre.
Eat not the bread of men - Food supplied for the comfort of the mourners.
Ezekiel 24:23
Pine away - Compare Leviticus 26:39. The outward signs of grief were a certain consolation. Their absence would indicate a heart-consuming sorrow.
Ezekiel 24:27
Ezekiel had been employed four years in foretelling the calamities about to come to pass. He had been utterly disregarded by the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and received with apparent respect but with real incredulity by those in exile. Now until the city had been actually taken, the voice of prophecy should cease, so far as God’s people were concerned. Hence the intervening series of predictions relating to neighboring and foreign nations Ezek. 25–32. After which the prophet’s voice was again heard addressing his countrymen in their exile. This accounts for the apparently parenthetical character of the next eight chapters.
