Ezekiel 4:14-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. And I said: "Ah, Lord God! I’ve never been unclean! From my childhood until now I’ve never eaten anything that wasn’t properly slaughtered, and no unclean meat has ever entered my mouth!"

15. He answered me: "Then I’ll let you use cow dung instead of human excrement. You can make your bread over that."

16. Then he said to me: Human one, I’m destroying the food supply in Jerusalem. They will anxiously ration and eat their food, and in dismay they will dole out and drink their water.

17. When their food and water dwindles away, everyone will be horrified, and they will waste away because of their guilt.
