Ezekiel 24:17-23

17Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.

18— And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.

19And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest?

20And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

21Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.

22And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;

23and your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan one toward another.
