Gill's Notes on the Bible
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking,.... As one in surprise or fear, or that has got an ague upon him:
and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; fearing want of it, or as apprehensive of danger of its being taken away; see Ezekiel 4:16.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Here the sign is the exhibition of such terror as the danger of a siege creates.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 12:18. Eat thy bread with quaking — Assume the manner of a person who is every moment afraid of his life, who has nothing but a morsel of bread to eat, and a little water to drink. Thus signifying the siege, and the straits to which they should be reduced. See this explained, Ezekiel 12:19.
