Ezekiel 24:15-17

Contemporary English Version

Ezekiel's Wife Dies

¹⁵ The Lord said, ¹⁶ “Ezekiel, son of man, I will suddenly take the life of the person you love most. But I don't want you to complain or cry. ¹⁷ Mourn in silence and don't show that you are grieving. Don't remove your turban or take off your sandals; don't cover your face to show your sorrow, or eat the food that mourners eat.”^[a]
