³ Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

¹⁰ Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

¹¹ You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

¹² You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

¹³ Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.

¹⁴ Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

¹⁵ Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.

¹⁶ Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

¹⁷ that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
