15Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
16Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with one blow; yet thou shalt not mourn, nor weep, nor shall thy tears run down.
17Sigh thou in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy head-dress upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet; cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of wretched men.
18So I spake to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
