Ezekiel 24:17-22

17Sigh and groan in silence; do not mourn for the dead. Bind on your turban and put your sandals on your feet, and do not cover your mustache or eat the bread of [mourners furnished by other] men.”

18So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I was commanded.

19The people said to me, “These things that you are doing—tell us, what do they mean for us?”

20Then I answered them, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21‘Speak to the house of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind [in Jerusalem] will fall by the sword.

22You will do as I [Ezekiel] have done; you shall not cover your mustache nor eat the bread of [mourning brought to you by other] men.
