New International Version NIV
9 "But as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days.
9
“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.
10 "Your food which you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.
10
Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.
11 "The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.
11
Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times.
12 "You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human dung ."
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 Then the LORD said, "Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will banish 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 But I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered 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, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread."
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 am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and in horror,
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 because bread and water will be scarce; and they will be appalled with one another and waste 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.
