said to me, “

Jerusalem. They shall
eat bread by
weight and with
anxiety, and they shall
drink water by
measure and in
dismay.

say to the
people of the
land,
Thus says the
Lord God concerning the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem in the
land of
Israel: They shall
eat their

anxiety, and
drink water in
dismay. In this
way her
land will be
stripped of all it
contains, on account of the
violence of
all those who
dwell in it.
