Ezekiel 24:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes by death; yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

¹⁷ Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind thy turban upon thy head, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet and do not cover thy lips and do not eat the bread of comfort.

¹⁸ So I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
