New Testament

Ezekiel 4:11-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. And water you shall drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from day to day you shall drink.

12. And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung.”

13. And the Lord said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”

14. Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth up till now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has tainted meat come into my mouth.”

15. Then he said to me, “See, I assign to you cow’s dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.”

16. Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the supply of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay.
