14 Then said I, Not so Adonoi Hashem! Hinei, my nefesh hath not been made tuma'ah for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten nevelah or trefah; neither came there basar piggul into my mouth.
15 Then He said unto me, Behold, I have given thee cattle dung instead of dung of adam, and thou shalt prepare thy lechem therewith.
16 Moreover He said unto me, Ben Adam, hinei, I will break the mateh lechem (staff of bread, food supply) in Yerushalayim: and they shall eat lechem weighted out in rations, and with worry; and they shall drink mayim by measure, and with amazed alarm:
17 In order that lechem and mayim be scarce, and that every ish and achiv be confounded with shock and rot away because of their avon.
