15. Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16. “Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.
17. Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind your turban on your head, and put your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips, and do not eat man’s bread of sorrow.”
18. So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and the next morning I did as I was commanded.
