Ezekiel 24:15-27
Ezekiel’s Wife Dies

15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

15:

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

16:

17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men.

17:

18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

18:

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

19:

20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

20:

21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

21:

22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men.

22:

23 And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

23:

24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

24:

25 Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

25:

26 [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears?

26:

27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

27:
