Ezekiel 4:10-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. And your food that you will eat will be according to weight; twenty shekels for each day at fixed times you shall eat it.

11. And an amount of water you shall drink, a sixth of a hin; at fixed times you shall drink it.

12. And as a bread-cake of barley you shall eat it, and with human excrement you shall bake it before their eyes.”

13. And Yahweh said, “Thus shall the Israelites eat their unclean food among the nations where I will scatter them.”

14. And I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and unclean meat has not come into my mouth!”

15. And he said to me, “See I will give you cattle manure in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it.”

16. And he said to me, “Son of man, look, I am going to break the supply of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight, anxiously, and rationed water, and they will drink with horror,

17. so that they will lack food and water, and they will be appalled with one another, and they will waste away because of their guilt.
