"But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and ^(C1)spelt, and put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, 390 days.

"Your food which you eat shall be ^(C1)twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.

"The water you drink shall be a ^(F1)sixth of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

"You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human ^(C1)dung."

Then the LORD said, "In this way the sons of Israel will eat their bread ^(C1)unclean among the nations where I will scatter them."

But I said, "^(C1)Oh, Lord ^(F1)GOD! Behold, ^(F2)I have ^(C2)never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what ^(C3)died of itself or was torn by animals, nor has any ^(C4)unclean meat ever entered my mouth!"

Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung, so that you may prepare your bread over it."

Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, behold, I am going to ^(C1)break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by ^(C2)weight and with anxiety, and drink water by ^(C3)measure and in horror,

because bread and water will be scarce; and they will tremble with one another and ^(C1)waste away in their guilt.
