John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 12:18

"Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;" — Ezekiel 12:18 (ASV)

Son of man, eat your bread with quaking As one in surprise or fear, or that has got an ague upon him: and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness ; fearing want of it, or as apprehensive of danger of its being taken away; see (Ezekiel 4:16) .
