et quasi subcinericium hordiacium comedes illud et stercore quod egredietur de homine operies illud in oculis eorum
And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man.

et dixit Dominus sic comedent filii Israhel panem suum pollutum inter gentes ad quas eiciam eos
And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out.
|
| 14 |
et dixi ha ha ha Domine Deus ecce anima mea non est polluta et morticinum et laceratum a bestiis non comedi ab infantia mea usque nunc et non est ingressa os meum omnis caro inmunda
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth.

| 15 |
et dixit ad me ecce dedi tibi fimum boum pro stercoribus humanis et facies panem tuum in eo

ut deficientibus pane et aqua corruat unusquisque ad fratrem suum et contabescant in iniquitatibus suis
So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.
