Ezekiel 33:25

Ezekiel Appointed As A Watchman And His Responsibility

²⁴ Son of man, those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say, Abraham was but one, and he had land for his heritage: but we are a great number; the land is given to us for our heritage. ²⁵ For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: You take your meat with the blood, your eyes are lifted up to your images, and you are takers of life: are you to have the land for your heritage? ²⁶ You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?

For This Cause

Lift Up Your Eyes

Lifted Up

Possess the Land

Says the Lord

Shed Blood

Thus Says the Lord

With Blood

Possession Of The Land

Jehovah
