Ezekiel 33:23-29

23The word of the Lord came to me:

24“Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.’

25Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it, pray to your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess the land?

26You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’

27“This is what you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease.

28I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them.

29Then they will know that I am the Lord when I turn the land into a desolate ruin because of all the abominable deeds they have committed.’
