10 And your food that you eat shall be ^oby weight, ^ptwenty shekels¹ a day; from day to day² you shall eat it. 11 And water you shall drink ^oby measure, the sixth part of a hin;³ from day to day you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it ^qin their sight on human dung.” 13 And the Lord said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat ^rtheir bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.” 14 Then I said, ^s“Ah, Lord God! Behold, I have never defiled myself.^{4 t}From my youth up till now I have never eaten ^uwhat died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has ^vtainted 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, ^w“Son of man, behold, ^xI will break the supply⁵ of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread ^oby weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water ^oby measure and in dismay. 17 I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and ^ylook at one another in dismay, and ^zrot away because of their punishment.
