New American Standard Bible
17 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (A)eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety. 19 Then say to the people of the land, ‘This is what the Lord God says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, because [a]their land will be [b](B)stripped of its fullness on account of the violence of all who live in it. 20 The inhabited (C)cities will be in ruins, and the (D)land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the Lord.”’”

Common English Bible
17 The Lord’s word came to me: 18 Human one, eat your bread in trembling, and drink your water in anxious agitation. 19 Say to the land’s people, The Lord God proclaims to those living in Jerusalem regarding Israel’s fertile land: As they anxiously eat up their bread and drink up their water in dismay, the land will be emptied of everything in it because of the violence of all who live there. 20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, the land left desolate, and you will know that I am the Lord.
