Ezekiel 4:12-14
New King James Version
12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.”
13 Then the Lord said, “So (A)shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”
14 So I said, (B)“Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten (C)what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has (D)abominable[a] flesh ever come into my mouth.”

Ezekiel 4:12-14
New International Version
12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement(A) for fuel.” 13 The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”(B)
14 Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign Lord!(C) I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead(D) or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.(E)”
