¹⁸ Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;

²⁶ When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

¹⁶ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

¹⁷ that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.

⁹ We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

⁴ My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.

⁵ By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.

⁶ I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

⁷ I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.

⁸ Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,

⁵ Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

² Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

³ Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

²⁴ For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot: but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

⁴⁸ therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

³⁶ And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

³³ Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
