New Century Version

Ezekiel 4:12-15 New Century Version (NCV)

12. Eat your food as you would eat a barley cake, baking it over human dung where the people can see.”

13. Then the Lord said, “In the same way Israel will eat unclean food among the nations where I force them to go.”

14. But I said, “No, Lord God! I have never been made unclean. From the time I was young until now I’ve never eaten anything that died by itself or was torn by animals. Unclean meat has never entered my mouth.”

15. “Very well,” he said. “Then I will give you cow’s dung instead of human dung to use for your fire to bake your bread.”
