Ezekiel 24:15-17

Good News Translation

The Death of the Prophet's Wife

¹⁵ The Lord spoke to me. ¹⁶ “Mortal man,” he said, “with one blow I am going to take away the person you love most. You are not to complain or cry or shed any tears. ¹⁷ Don't let your sobbing be heard. Do not go bareheaded or barefoot as a sign of mourning. Don't cover your face or eat the food that mourners eat.”
