Ezekiel 4:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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.’ 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.’
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(D) the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,(E)
