Ezekiel 24:16-18
International Standard Version
16 “Son of Man, pay attention! I’m about to take away your most precious treasure[a] with a single, fatal stroke, but you are not to mourn, weep, nor even let tears well up in your eyes.[b] 17 You are to weep in silence, but you are not to participate in mourning rituals.[c] You are to keep your turban on your head and your sandals on your feet. You are not to cover your mouth[d] or eat what your comforters bring to you.”[e]
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died that evening. The next[f] morning, I did as I had been commanded.
