Ezekiel 24:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ “Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall ^(A)neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down. ¹⁷ Sigh in silence, ^(B)make no mourning for the dead; ^(C)bind your turban on your head, and ^(D)put your sandals on your feet; ^(E)do not cover your ^[a]lips, and do not eat man’s bread of sorrow.”

¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and the next morning I did as I was commanded.
