Gill's Notes on the Bible
That they may want bread and water,.... Or, "because they shall want" l c. therefore they shall eat the one, and drink the other, by weight or they shall do this till there shall be none to eat and drink:
and be astonished one with another; when they shall find they cannot relieve one another; and not knowing what method to take for the support of nature:
and consume away for their iniquity; their flesh upon them black through famine, putrid and noisome; and they wasting, pining, and consuming; reduced to skin and bones; and disagreeable to look upon; and all because of their sins and iniquities.
