Bible verse
So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
Ezekiel 4:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 4.
13 Then the LORD said, “This is how the Israelites will eat their defiled bread among the nations to which I will banish them.”
14 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
15 “Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that.”
16 Then 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.
17 So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
