Contextual Overview
9 And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 10 And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it. 11 And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it, 12 And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man. 13 And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out. 14 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth. 15 And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith. 16 And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress. 17 So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.

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.
