New American Standard Bible
Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread."

King James Bible
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
He replied to me, "Look, I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you can make your bread over that."

cow's dung. Dried cow-dung is a common fuel in the East, as it is in many parts of England, to the present day; but the prophet was ordered to prepare his bread with human ordure, to shew the extreme degree of wretchedness to which the besieged should be exposed, as they would be obliged literally to use it, from not being able to leave the city to collect other fuel.
