Ezekiel 4:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 He replied: Very well. I will permit you to use cow dung instead of human dung to prepare your bread.[a]
16 Then he said to me: Son of man, I intend to reduce greatly the supply of food in Jerusalem. The people will ration anxiously the bread they eat and sip carefully the measure of water they are allotted each day. 17 Because of the scarcity of bread and water, they will be overwhelmed with fear and waste away because of their iniquity.
