Ezekiel 4:11-13
New English Translation
11 And you must drink water by measure, a pint and a half;[a] you must drink it at fixed times. 12 And you must eat the food as you would a barley cake. You must bake it in front of them over a fire made with dried human excrement.”[b] 13 And the Lord said, “This is how the people of Israel will eat their unclean food among the nations[c] where I will banish them.”
