Ezekiel 33:25

Ezekiel Appointed As A Watchman And His Responsibility

²⁴ Son of man, those who live in the ruined cities in Israel are saying: 'Abraham was only one person, and he was given the land. But we are many. Certainly the land has been given to us.' ²⁵ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols as you shed blood. Should you then possess the land? ²⁶ You rely on your swords (military power). You do disgusting things. You dishonor your neighbor's wife. Should the land be given to you?'
