Ezekiel 4:16-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ Moreover, He said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread [by which life is supported] in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread rationed by weight and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water rationed by measure and with dismay (silent, speechless grief caused by the impending starvation),^(A)

¹⁷ In order that they may lack bread and water and look at one another in dismay and waste away [in their punishment] for their iniquity.
