For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 13 of 1 Kings. A man of God from Judah arrives at Bethel and announces against the altar that Josiah, centuries later, will desecrate that place. Jeroboam attempts to stop him, but his hand becomes paralyzed and is later restored when the prophet intercedes. The episode demonstrates that Jeroboam’s new religious system has no authority over the prophetic word. The king may control institutions, but he cannot silence God’s word.

Denn also ist mir geboten durch des HERRN Wort und gesagt: Du sollst kein Brot essen und kein Wasser trinken und nicht wieder den Weg kommen, den du gegangen bist.
Porque así me está mandado por palabra de Jehová, diciendo: No comas pan, ni bebas agua, ni vuelvas por el camino que fueres.
porque así se me ordenó por palabra de Jehová: “No comas pan ni bebas agua, ni regreses por el camino por el que fuiste”».
car cet ordre m'a été donné, par la parole de l'Eternel: Tu ne mangeras point de pain et tu ne boiras point d'eau, et tu ne prendras pas à ton retour le chemin par lequel tu seras allé.
perciocchè così mi è stato comandato per la parola del Signore, dicendo: Non mangiar pane, e non bere acqua in quel luogo; e non ritornartene per la medesima via, per la quale tu sarai andato.
Porque assim me ordenou o SENHOR pela sua palavra, dizendo: Não comerás pão nem beberás água; e não voltarás pelo caminho por onde vieste.
因為耶和華的話這樣吩咐我說:『不可吃飯喝水,也不可從你去的原路回來。』」
