Ezekiel 33:21-29

21Now 1in the 2twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141 of our exileH1546, on the fifthH2568 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320, the survivorH6412 from JerusalemH3389 cameH935 to me, sayingH559, “3The cityH5892 has been 4takenH5221.” 22Now the 5handH3027 of the LordH3068 had beenH1961 upon me in the eveningH6153, beforeH6440 the survivorsH6412 cameH935. And He 6openedH6605 my mouthH6310 7atH5704 theH5704 timeH5704 they cameH935 to me in the morningH1242; so my mouthH6310 was 8openedH6605 and I wasH481 noH3808 longerH5750 9speechlessH481.

23Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 24“SonH1121 of manH120, they who 10liveH3427 in theseH428 ruinsH2723 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478 are sayingH559, ‘11AbrahamH85 was only oneH259, yet he possessedH3423 the landH776; so to 12us who are manyH7227 the landH776 has been givenH5414 as a possessionH4181.’ 25ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “You eatH398 meat with the 13bloodH1818 in it, raiseH5375 your eyesH5869 to your idolsH1544 as you shedH8210 bloodH1818. 14Should you then possessH3423 the landH776? 26You 1516relyH5975 on your swordH2719, you commitH6213 abominationsH8441, and eachH376 of you defilesH2930 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802. Should you then possessH3423 the landH776?”’ 27You shall sayH559 thisH3541 to them: ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “As I liveH2416, those whoH834 are in the placesH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723 certainlyH518H3808 will 17fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and whoeverH834 is in the 18openH6440 fieldH7704 I will giveH5414 to the animalsH2421 to be devouredH398, and those whoH834 are in the strongholdsH4679 and in the 19cavesH4631 will dieH4191 of plagueH1698. 28And I will 20makeH5414 the landH776 a desolationH8077 and a wasteH4923, and the 21prideH1347 of her powerH5797 will be broughtH7673 toH7673 anH7673 endH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 will beH8074 desertedH8074 soH4480 thatH4480 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.”’
