Ezekiel 4:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee bullocks [a]dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
16 Moreover, he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break [b]the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care, and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment.
17 Because that bread and water shall fail, they shall be astonied one with another, and shall consume away for their iniquity.

Ezekiel 4:15-17
New International Version
15 “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
16 He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off(A) the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,(B) 17 for food and water will be scarce.(C) They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of[a] their sin.(D)
