¹⁸ Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your 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 you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

¹⁶ Moreover he said to 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 blighted like grass, and withered, For I forget to eat my bread.

⁵ By reason of the voice of my groaning, My bones stick to my skin.

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

⁷ I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

⁸ My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mixed my drink with tears,

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

² You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes.

³ You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

²⁴ For my sighing comes before I eat, My groanings are poured out like water.

⁶⁵ Among these nations shall you find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

⁴⁸ therefore shall you serve your enemies whom Yahweh shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he have destroyed you.

³⁶ "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

³³ You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
