Ezekiel 24:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible
22 Then you will do the same things that I have done. You will not cover the lower part of your face. You will not eat special food that people eat at funerals. 23 You will still wear your cloths on your heads. You will wear your shoes on your feet. You will not cry aloud or weep. You will suffer and you will be weak because of the punishment for your sins. You will cry quietly among yourselves. 24 Ezekiel is an example to you. You must do the same as he has done when his wife died. When this happens, you will know that I am the Almighty Lord.”[a]

- 24:24 God had taken Ezekiel's wife from him. He had loved her very much. Now God says to the people of Jerusalem that he will take away from them the temple that they love. But they will be like Ezekiel was when his wife died. They will not show that they are sad, even though they have lost what they loved very much.
Ezekiel 24:22-24
New International Version
22 And you will do as I have done. You will not cover your mustache and beard(A) or eat the customary food of mourners.(B) 23 You will keep your turbans(C) on your heads and your sandals(D) on your feet. You will not mourn(E) or weep but will waste away(F) because of[a] your sins and groan among yourselves.(G) 24 Ezekiel(H) will be a sign(I) to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’
