Ezekiel 4:13-15

The Message

¹³ God said, “This is what the people of Israel are going to do: Among the pagan nations where I will drive them, they will eat foods that are strictly taboo to a holy people.”

¹⁴ I said, “God, my Master! Never! I’ve never contaminated myself with food like that. Since my youth I’ve never eaten anything forbidden by law, nothing found dead or violated by wild animals. I’ve never taken a single bite of forbidden food.”

¹⁵ “All right,” he said. “I’ll let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human dung.”
