Ezekiel 33:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 Now the [a]hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening afore he that had escaped, came, and had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning: and when he had opened my [b]mouth, I was no more dumb.
23 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, and said,
24 Son of man, these that dwell in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talk and say, [c]Abraham was but one, and he possessed the land: but we are many, therefore the land shall be given us in possession.
