But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow. 17 Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.” 18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded. 19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
