Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

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 for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I {am} the Lord GOD.

Also, thou son of man, {shall it} not {be} in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, {that...: Heb. the lifting up of their soul}

{That} he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause {thee} to hear {it} with {thine} ears?

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I {am} the LORD.
