Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem

^26 (A)When I break your supply^[a] of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and ^(B)you shall eat and not be satisfied.

^13 (A)“Son of man, when a land sins against me ^(B)by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it and ^(C)break its supply^[a] of bread and send famine upon it, and ^(D)cut off from it man and beast,

¹⁶ Moreover, he said to me, ^(A)“Son of man, behold, ^(B)I will break the supply^[a] of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread ^(C)by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water ^(D)by measure and in dismay. ¹⁷ I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and ^(E)look at one another in dismay, and ^(F)rot away because of their punishment.

⁹ “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern, and he will die there of ^(A)hunger, ^(B)for there is no bread left in the city.”

²¹ So King Zedekiah gave orders, and they committed Jeremiah to ^(A)the court of the guard. And a loaf of bread was given him daily from the bakers' street, ^(B)until all the bread of the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in ^(C)the court of the guard.
