Ezekiel 24:15-17

International Children’s Bible

The Death of Ezekiel’s Wife

¹⁵ Then the Lord spoke his word to me. He said: ¹⁶ “Human being, I am going to take your wife from you. She is the desire of your eyes. She will die suddenly. But you must not be sad or cry loudly for her. You must not shed any tears. ¹⁷ Groan silently. Do not cry loudly for the dead. Tie on your turban, and put your sandals on your feet. Do not cover your face. And do not eat the food people eat when they are sad about a death.”
