▼Hebrew staff
of bread,Isaiah 3:1
Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem
1 For behold, the dLord God of hostsis taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah

▼Hebrew staff
all fsupport of bread,
and all support of water;
Isaiah 9:20
20 gThey slice meat on the right, but are still hungry,and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;
heach devours the flesh of his own arm,
Jeremiah 14:12
12Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, iand though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them jby the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”Lamentations 4:3-9
3 Even jackals offer the breast;they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the nursing infant ksticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
lthe children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.
5 Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
mthose who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps.
6 nFor the chastisement ▼
▼Or iniquity
of the daughter of my people has been greaterthan the punishment ▼
▼Or sin
of Sodom,qwhich was overthrown in a moment,
and no hands were wrung for her. ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
the beauty of their form ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
was like sapphire. ▼▼Hebrew lapis lazuli
8 uNow their face is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets;
their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as wood.
9 Happier were the victims of the sword
than the victims of hunger,
who wasted away, pierced
by lack of the fruits of the field.
Ezekiel 4:10
10And your food that you eat shall be vby weight, wtwenty shekels ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
a day; from day to day ▼▼Or at a set time daily; also verse 11
you shall eat it. Ezekiel 4:16
16Moreover, he said to me, z“Son of man, behold, aaI will break the supply ▼▼Hebrew staff
of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread acby weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water adby measure and in dismay. Ezekiel 5:16
16when I send against you ▼▼Hebrew them
afthe deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon agyou and break your supply ▼▼Hebrew staff
of bread.
