Ezekiel 24:17-19

Modern English Version

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.

¹⁹ And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are behaving this way?”
