New International Version NIV
10 The food that you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; at fixed times you shall eat it.
10
Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.
11 And you shall drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; at fixed times you shall drink.
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, baking it in their sight on 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 The Lord said, "Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread, unclean, among the nations to which 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 I said, "Ah Lord God! I have never defiled myself; from my youth up until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by animals, nor has carrion flesh come 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, "See, I will let you have cow's dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread."
15
“Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
16 Then he said to me, Mortal, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; 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 Lacking bread and water, they will look at one another in dismay, and waste away under their punishment.
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.
