Ezekiel 24:15-17

Common English Bible

Ezekiel’s wife dies

¹⁵ The Lord’s word came to me: ¹⁶ Human one, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you in a single stroke. Don’t mourn or weep. Don’t even let your tears well up. ¹⁷ Sigh inwardly; be deathly still. Don’t perform mourning rites, but bind on your turban and put your shoes on your feet. And don’t cover your upper lip or eat in human company.
