Ezekiel 14:13

Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

Then will I ... break the staff of the bread - on which man's existence is supported as on a staff (; ; ; ; ). I will send a famine.
