Ezekiel 24:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ Son of man, I am about to take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke. Yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. ¹⁷ Groan silently. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban and put your shoes on your feet and do not cover your mustache and do not eat the bread of men.

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