Ezekiel 24:15-27
New King James Version
The Prophet’s Wife Dies
15 Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 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.
19 And the people said to me, (F)“Will you not tell us what these things signify to us, that you behave so?”
20 Then I answered them, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, (G)I will profane My sanctuary, [b]your arrogant boast, the desire of your eyes, the [c]delight of your soul; (H)and your sons and daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. 22 And you shall do as I have done; (I)you shall not cover your [d]lips nor eat man’s bread of sorrow. 23 Your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; (J)you shall neither mourn nor weep, but (K)you shall pine away in your iniquities and mourn with one another. 24 Thus (L)Ezekiel is a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do; (M)and when this comes, (N)you shall know that I am the Lord God.’ ”
25 ‘And you, son of man—will it not be in the day when I take from them (O)their stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and [e]that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters: 26 that on that day (P)one who escapes will come to you to let you hear it with your ears? 27 (Q)On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”

Ezekiel 24:15-27
21st Century King James Version
15 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16 “Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind the attire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.”
18 So I spoke unto the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, “Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?”
20 Then I answered them, “The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, ‘Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: Ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 And your attires 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.
24 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.’
25 “Also, thou son of man, shall it not be on 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,
26 that he that escapeth on that day shall come unto thee to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
27 On that day shall thy mouth be opened to him who has 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.”
