12 And as a bread-cake of barley you shall eat it, and ⌊with human excrement⌋p you shall bake it before their eyes.” 13 And Yahweh said, “Thus shall the ⌊Israelites⌋q eat their unclean food among the nations ⌊where I will scatter them⌋.”r 14 And I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and ⌊unclean meat⌋s has not come into my mouth!” 15 And he said to me, “See I will give you ⌊cattle manure⌋t in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it.” 16 And he said to me, “Son of man,u look, I am going to break the ⌊supply⌋v of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight, ⌊anxiously⌋,w and ⌊rationed water⌋,x and they will drink with horror, 17 so that they will lack food and water, and they will be appalled ⌊with one another⌋,y and they will waste away because of their guilt.z
