Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 4:12

_ _ dung — as fuel; so the Arabs use beasts’ dung, wood fuel being scarce. But to use human dung so implies the most cruel necessity. It was in violation of the law (Deuteronomy 14:3; Deuteronomy 23:12-14); it must therefore have been done only in vision.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 4:9-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 4:12

As barley cakes — Because they never had enough to make a loaf with, they eat them as barley cakes. With dung — There was no wood left, nor yet dung of other creatures. This also was represented in a vision.
