Ezekiel 4:9–17

And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 10And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it. 11And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it, 12And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man. 13And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out. 14And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth. 15And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith. 16And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress. 17So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.
