The Sign of Ezekiel's Wife

15

Also the worde of ye Lord came vnto me, saying,

16

Sonne of man beholde, I take away from thee the pleasure of thine eyes with a plague: yet shalt thou neither mourne nor weepe, neither shall thy teares runne downe.

17

Cease from sighing: make no mourning for the dead, and binde the tyre of thine head vpon thee, and put on thy shooes vpon thy feete, and couer not thy lips, and eate not the bread of men.

18

So I spake vnto the people in the morning, and at euen my wife dyed: and I did in the morning, as I was commanded.

19

And the people said vnto me, Wilt thou not tell vs what these things meane towarde vs that thou doest so?

20

Then I answered them, The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

21

Speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I will pollute my Sanctuarie, euen the pride of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and your hearts desire, and your sonnes, and your daughters whom ye haue left, shall fall by the sworde.

22

And ye shall doe as I haue done: ye shall not couer your lippes, neither shall ye eate the bread of men.

23

And your tyre shalbe vpon your heads, and your shooes vpon your feete: ye shall not mourne nor weepe, but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourne one toward another.

24

Thus Ezekiel is vnto you a signe: according to all that he hath done, ye shall do: and when this commeth, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
