10 And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it.
11 You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink.
12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.”
13 Then the Lord said, “So ashall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”  
14 So I said, a“Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten bwhat died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has cabominable flesh ever come into my mouth.”  
15 Then He said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.”
16 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, surely I will cut off the asupply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall beat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall cdrink water by measure and with dread,  
17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and awaste away because of their iniquity.
