THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, I'm about to take from you the delight of your life—a real blow, I know. But, please, no tears. Keep your grief to yourself. No public mourning. Get dressed as usual and go about your work—none of the usual funeral rituals."

Contextual Overview

¹⁵ The Lord said, ¹⁶ "Ezekiel, son of man, I will suddenly take the life of the person you love most. But I don't want you to complain or cry. ¹⁷ Mourn in silence and don't show that you are grieving. Don't remove your turban or take off your sandals; don't cover your face to show your sorrow, or eat the food that mourners eat." ¹⁸ One morning, I was talking with the people as usual, and by sunset my wife was dead. The next day I did what the Lord told me, ¹⁹ and when people saw me, they asked, "Why aren't you mourning for your wife?" ²⁰ I answered: The Lord God says ²¹ he is ready to destroy the temple in which you take such pride and which makes you feel so safe. Your children who now live in Jerusalem will be killed. ²² Then you will do the same things I have done. You will leave your face uncovered and refuse to eat the food that mourners usually eat. ²³ You won't take off your turbans and your sandals. You won't cry or mourn, but all day long you will go around groaning because of your sins. ²⁴ I am a warning sign—everything I have done, you will also do. And then you will know the Lord God has made these things happen.
