World English Bible

¹⁷ Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”

¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
