Hebrew Names Version HNV
New International Version NIV
12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
12
Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel.”
13 The LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Yisra'el eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
13
The LORD said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
14
Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.”
15 Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.
15
“Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Yerushalayim: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
16
He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,
17 that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
17
for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin.
