Ezekiel 4:9-17

9“As for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, put them in a single container, and make food from them for yourself. For the same number of days that you lie on your side – 390 days – you will eat it.

10The food you eat will be eight ounces a day by weight; you must eat it at fixed times.

11And you must drink water by measure, a pint and a half; you must drink it at fixed times.

12And you must eat the food like you would a barley cake. You must bake it in front of them over a fire made with dried human excrement.”

13And the Lord said, “This is how the people of Israel will eat their unclean food among the nations where I will banish them.”

14And I said, “Ah, sovereign Lord, I have never been ceremonially defiled before. I have never eaten a carcass or an animal torn by wild beasts; from my youth up, unclean meat has never entered my mouth.”

15So he said to me, “All right then, I will substitute cow’s manure instead of human excrement. You will cook your food over it.”

16Then he said to me, “Son of man, I am about to remove the bread supply in Jerusalem. They will eat their bread ration anxiously, and they will drink their water ration in terror

17because they will lack bread and water. Each one will be terrified, and they will rot for their iniquity.
