Therefore, I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong ones cease, and their holy places will be profaned.

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?

You rely on your sword, you commit abominations and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?”’

“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,

Yes, I will cause men—My people Israel—to walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their inheritance and never again bereave them of children.’
