Ezekiel 33:23-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, “Abraham was only one man, and he took possession of the land. We are many, and certainly the land has been given to us as a possession.”

²⁵ Therefore, say this to them. This is what the Lord God says. You eat meat with the blood still in it. You raise your eyes to your filthy idols. You shed blood, and still you think you will possess the land? ²⁶ You depend on your sword. You commit abominations. Each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife, and still you think you will possess the land?
