John Trapp on Ezekiel 24:17

Ver. 17. For hear to cry] Heb. be ſilent, and ſo ſuffocate thy ſorrows: ne plangas, ne plores. Not as if the dead were not to be lamented (tears are the dues of the dead, Mors mea ne careat lachrymis) or that it were unbeſeeming a Prophet to bewail his dead Conſort: but to ſet forth by this figure, the greatneſſe of their enſuing ſorrow, bigger then any tears: for Curae leves loquuntur, ingentes ſtupent.

Bind the tire of thy head upon thee] Mourners, it ſeems, uſed to go bare-headed, and bare-footed, to cover their Muſtachoes, to eat what their friends ſent them in at ſuch a ſad time to chear up their ſpirits, Jer. 16.5, 7. The Prophet muſt do none of all this,Singultus devorat. but keep his ſorrows to himſelf.
