Ezekiel 4:16
The staff of bread - Bread is so called because it is that on which the support of life mainly depends.
With astonishment - With dismay and anxiety at the calamities which are befalling 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.
