Your turbans will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet. You will not mourn and you will not weep, but you will rot away in your iniquities and you will groan to one another.I'll admit I'm not quite sure how to interpret this. One way I see it, it could mean that the people simply don't care that the temple is empty. They've grown so apathetic about God that they consider His absence irrelevant.
In the other case, they're simply hiding their feelings well. They go about business as usual, but are torn up inside, just as Ezekiel was over the death of his wife. They either feel they can't express themselves openly, or that they shouldn't for some reason. Whichever the answer is, it's a wrong choice.
