Ezekiel 4:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Then he said to me, ‘See, I will let you have cow’s dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.’

¹⁶ Then he said to me, Mortal, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay. ¹⁷ Lacking bread and water, they will look at one another in dismay, and waste away under their punishment.
