Ezekiel 24:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
17 Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your sandals on your feet; do not cover your upper lip or eat the bread of mourners.[a] 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded.
19 Then the people said to me, ‘Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting in this way?’
