Ezekiel 4:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹² You shall eat it as a barley-cake, baking it in their sight on human dung. ¹³ The Lord said, ‘Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread, unclean, among the nations to which 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.’
