Contextual Overview
9But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days that you lie on your side. 10You are to weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day, and you are to eat it at set times. 11You are also to measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at set times. 12And you shall eat the food as you would a barley cake, after you bake it over dried human excrement in the sight of the people." 13Then the LORD said, "This is how the Israelites will eat their defiled bread among the nations to which I will banish them." 14"Ah, Lord GOD," I said, "I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth." 15"Look," He replied, "I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that." 16Then He told me, "Son of man, I am going to cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. They will anxiously eat bread rationed by weight, and in despair they will drink water by measure. 17So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled over the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
That they may want bread and water,.... Or, "because they shall want" l c. therefore they shall eat the one, and drink the other, by weight or they shall do this till there shall be none to eat and drink:
and be astonished one with another; when they shall find they cannot relieve one another; and not knowing what method to take for the support of nature:
and consume away for their iniquity; their flesh upon them black through famine, putrid and noisome; and they wasting, pining, and consuming; reduced to skin and bones; and disagreeable to look upon; and all because of their sins and iniquities.
