Contextual Overview
9 And you, take to yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and place them in a single vessel; and make them for yourself into bread, to the number of days that you are lying on your side. You shall eat itthree hundred and ninety days. 10 And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight: twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it. 11 And you shall drink water by measure: the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat cakes of barley, and you shall bake it with dung of the excrement of man, in their sight. 13 And Jehovah said, Even so the sons of Israel shall eat their defiled bread among the nations there where I will drive them. 14 Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been defiled. I have not even eaten a carcass or a torn animal, from my youth even until now. And unclean flesh has not come into my mouth. 15 Then He said to me, See, I have given to you the dung of cattle in place of the dung of man. And you shall make bread over it. 16 And He said to me, Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety. And they shall drink water by measure, and in horror, 17 because they will lack bread and water, and each one be stunned with his brother. And they will waste away in their iniquity.

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.
