Ezekiel 33:21-24

21On January 8, during the twelfth year of our captivity, a survivor from Jerusalem came to me and said, “The city has fallen!”

22The previous evening the Lord had taken hold of me and given me back my voice. So I was able to speak when this man arrived the next morning.

23Then this message came to me from the Lord:

24“Son of man, the scattered remnants of Israel living among the ruined cities keep saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he gained possession of the entire land. We are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’
