Ezekiel 24:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ “Son of man,^[a] look! I am taking from you what is pleasing to your eyes with a plague,^[b] but you shall not mourn, and you shall not weep, and your tears shall not run down. ¹⁷ Sigh in silence for the dead; you shall not make a mourning ceremony. Bind your turban on you, and you must put your sandals on your feet. You must not cover your upper lip,^[c] and the bread of mourners^[d] you shall not eat.” ¹⁸ And I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening, and I did in the morning just as^[e] I was commanded.
