Ezekiel 33:24-26

24“Son of man, they who 1live in these waste places in the land of Israel are saying, ‘2Abraham was only one, yet he possessed the land; so to 3us who are many the land has been given as a possession.’

25Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “You eat meat with the 4blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols as you shed blood. 5Should you then possess the land?

26You 6 7rely on your sword, you commit abominations and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?”’
