As for my sheep, they must eat what you trampled with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet!

“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with anxious shaking.

You will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, at my slaughter which I have made for you.

No priest may drink wine when he enters the inner court.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, I am about to remove the bread supply in Jerusalem. They will eat their bread ration anxiously, and they will drink their water ration in terror

“This is what the sovereign Lord says: “You will drink your sister’s deep and wide cup; you will be scorned and derided, for it holds a great deal.
