Ezekiel 24:17-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. ^(A)Bind on your turban, and ^(B)put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, ^(C)nor eat the bread of men.” ¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and ^(D)at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did ^(E)as I was commanded.

¹⁹ And ^(F)the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?”
