And [as a] bread-cake of barley you shall eat it, and {with human excrement} you shall bake it before their eyes." And Yahweh said, "Thus shall the {Israelites} eat their unclean food among the nations {where I will scatter them}." And I said, "Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and {unclean meat} has not come into my mouth!" And he said to me, "See I will give you {cattle manure} in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it." And he said to me, "Son of man, look, I [am] going to break the {supply} of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight, {anxiously}, and {rationed water}, and they will drink with horror, so that they will lack food and water, and they will be appalled {with one another}, and they will waste away because of their guilt.
