13 And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.

And the LORD said: 'Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them.'

14 Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.

Then said I: 'Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abhorred flesh into my mouth.'

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 anxiety; and they shall drink water by measure, and in appalment;

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

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