Ezekiel 24:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 You will still wear your cloths on your heads. You will wear your shoes on your feet. You will not cry aloud or weep. You will suffer and you will be weak because of the punishment for your sins. You will cry quietly among yourselves. 24 Ezekiel is an example to you. You must do the same as he has done when his wife died. When this happens, you will know that I am the Almighty Lord.”[a]
25 Son of man, I will soon take away from them Jerusalem's great temple. It is the beautiful place that has made them very happy. They are very proud of it. They love to look at it. I will also take away their sons and daughters.

- 24:24 God had taken Ezekiel's wife from him. He had loved her very much. Now God says to the people of Jerusalem that he will take away from them the temple that they love. But they will be like Ezekiel was when his wife died. They will not show that they are sad, even though they have lost what they loved very much.
