Ezekiel 4:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 4:17

That they may want bread and water
Or, "because they shall want" F12 &c. therefore they shall eat the one, and drink the other, by weight; or they shall do this till there shall be none to eat and drink: and be astonished one with another;
when they shall find they cannot relieve one another; and not knowing what method to take for the support of nature: and consume away for their iniquity;
their flesh upon them black through famine, putrid and noisome; and they wasting, pining, and consuming; reduced to skin and bones; and disagreeable to look upon; and all because of their sins and iniquities.

15 Et il me répondit: Voici, je te donne la fiente des bœufs à la place d'excréments humains, et là-dessus tu apprêteras ta nourriture.
16 Puis il ajouta: Fils de l'homme, voici, je vais retrancher dans Jérusalem le pain qui soutient; ils mangeront leur pain au poids et dans l'angoisse; ils boiront l'eau à la mesure et dans la stupeur.
17 Et parce que le pain et l'eau leur manqueront, ils seront dans la consternation les uns et les autres, et ils se consumeront à cause de leur iniquité.
