Ezekiel 33:23-33

23Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 24“SonH1121 of manH120, they who 1liveH3427 in theseH428 wasteH2723 placesH2723 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478 are sayingH559, ‘2AbrahamH85 was only oneH259, yet he possessedH3423 the landH776; so to 3us whoH7227 are manyH7227 the landH776 has been givenH5414 as a possessionH4181.’ 25ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “You eatH398 meat with the 4bloodH1818 in it, liftH5375 up your eyesH5869 to your idolsH1544 as you shedH8210 bloodH1818. 5Should you then possessH3423 the landH776? 26You 67relyH5975 on your swordH2719, you commitH6213 abominationsH8441 and eachH376 of you defilesH2930 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802. Should you then possessH3423 the landH776?”’ 27ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “As I liveH2416, surelyH518H3808 those whoH834 are in the wasteH2723 placesH2723 will 8fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and whoeverH834 is in the 9openH6440 fieldH7704 I will giveH5414 to the beastsH2421 to be devouredH398, and those whoH834 are in the strongholdsH4679 and in the 10cavesH4631 will dieH4191 of pestilenceH1698. 28I will 11makeH5414 the landH776 a desolationH8077 and a wasteH4923, and the 12prideH1347 of her powerH5797 will ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 will be desolateH8074 soH4480 that noH369 oneH369 will passH5674 throughH5674. 29Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I makeH5414 the landH776 a desolationH8077 and a wasteH4923 becauseH5921 of allH3605 their abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213.”’

30“But as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 13your fellowH1121H5971 citizensH5971 who talkH1696 about you by the wallsH7023 and in the doorwaysH6607 of the housesH1004, speakH1696 to oneH2297 anotherH259, eachH376 to his brotherH251, sayingH559, ‘14ComeH935 nowH4994 and hearH8085 whatH4100 the 15messageH1697 is which comesH3318 forthH3318 from the LordH3068.’ 31They comeH935 to you as peopleH5971 comeH3996, and sitH3427 beforeH6440 you as My peopleH5971 and hearH8085 your wordsH1697, but they do not doH6213 them, for they doH6213 the lustfulH5690 desiresH5690 expressed by their 16mouthH6310, and their heartH3820 goesH1980 afterH310 their 17gainH1215. 32BeholdH2009, you are to them like a sensualH5690 songH7892 by one who has a 18beautifulH3303 voiceH6963 and playsH5059 wellH3190 on an instrument; for they hearH8085 your wordsH1697 but they do not practiceH6213 them. 33So when it 19comesH935 to passH935--20as surelyH2009 it will--then they will knowH3045 that a prophetH5030 has beenH1961 in their midstH8432.”
