Ezekiel 24:16-18

21st Century King James Version

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.
