15 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
16 Fils de l’homme, voici, je t’enlève par une mort soudaine ce qui fait les délices de tes yeux. Tu ne te lamenteras point, tu ne pleureras point, et tes larmes ne couleront pas.
17 Soupire en silence, ne prends pas le deuil des morts, attache ton turban, mets ta chaussure à tes pieds, ne te couvre pas la barbe, et ne mange pas le pain des autres.
18 J’avais parlé au peuple le matin, et ma femme mourut le soir. Le lendemain matin, je fis ce qui m’avait été ordonné.
19 Le peuple me dit: Ne nous expliqueras-tu pas ce que signifie pour nous ce que tu fais?
