Ezekiel 4:9-17

⁹But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side.

¹⁰You are to weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day, and you are to eat it at set times.

¹¹You are also to measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at set times.

¹²And you shall eat the food as you would a barley cake, after you bake it over dried human excrement in the sight of the people.”

¹³Then the LORD said, “This is how the Israelites will eat their defiled bread among the nations to which I will banish them.”

¹⁴“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”

¹⁵“Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that.”

¹⁶Then He told me, “Son of man, I am going to cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. They will anxiously eat bread rationed by weight, and in despair they will drink water by measure.

¹⁷So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
