Ezekiel 24:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down.

¹⁷ Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.

¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
