Ezekiel 33:24-26

New English Translation

²⁴ “Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.’^{[a] 25} Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it,^[b] pray to^[c] your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess^[d] the land? ²⁶ You rely^[e] on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’
