Ezekiel 4:16-17

16Moreover, He said to me, “Son of man, behold (listen carefully), I am going to break the staff of bread [that supports life] in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread [rationed] by weight and [eat it] with anxiety and fear, and drink water by measure and [drink it] in horror [of the impending starvation],

17because bread and water will be scarce; and they will look at one another in dismay and waste away [in punishment] for their wickedness.
