Ezekiel 4:17

The Defiled Bread

16Then He told me, “Son of man, I am going to cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. They will anxiously eat bread rationed by weight, and in despair they will drink water by measure.17So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
