And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. - Ezekiel 4:12-15

eight years pass...
And if, despite this, you still do not listen to Me, still treating Me as happenstance, I will treat you with a fury of happenstance, adding again seven [ chastisements ] for your sins:
You will eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.
I will demolish your edifices and cut down your sun idols; I will make your corpses [ fall ] upon the corpses of your idols, and My Spirit will reject you.
I will lay your cities waste and make your holy places desolate, and I will not partake of your pleasant fragrances.
I will make the Land desolate, so that it will become desolate [ also ] of your enemies who live in it.
And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you. Your land will be desolate, and your cities will be laid waste.
Then, the land will be appeased regarding its sabbaticals. During all the days that it remains desolate while you are in the land of your enemies, the Land will rest and thus appease its sabbaticals.
It will rest during all the days that it remains desolate, whatever it had not rested on your sabbaticals, when you lived upon it.
And those of you who survive I will bring fear in their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a rustling leaf will pursue them; they will flee as one flees the sword, and they will fall, but there will be no pursuer.
Each man will stumble over his brother, [ fleeing ] as if from the sword, but without a pursuer. You will not be able to stand up against your enemies.
You will become lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
And because of their iniquity, those of you who survive will rot away in the lands of your enemies; moreover, they will rot away because the iniquities of their fathers are still within them.
Leviticus 26:14-39

Need to read through the Bible. Had plenty of it growing up, but all the more obscure weird passages went untouched for the most part.
Friends and I did have a good time when we discovered Song of Solomon during a dry chapel service. Hot stuff.
