¹³ The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”^(A)

¹⁴ Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign Lord!^(B) I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead^(C) or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.^(D)”

¹⁵ “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
