Ezekiel 33:24-33 Son of humanity, they who settle the parched areas of the soil of Yisra El say, saying, Abraham, being one, was successor of the land: but we are many; the land is given us for possession.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Son of humanity, they who settle the parched areas of the soil of Yisra El say, saying, Abraham, being one, was successor of the land: but we are many; the land is given us for possession. ²⁵ Why say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: You eat with the blood and lift your eyes toward your idols and pour blood! Possess you the land? ²⁶ You stand on your sword; you work abhorrence; You foul the woman of the friend of every man: Possess you the land? ²⁷ You, say thus to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! Surely they in the parched areas fall by the sword, and him in the face of the field I give to the live beings to devour; and they in the huntholds and in the caves die of the pestilence. ²⁸ And I give the land a desolation and desolate, and the pomp of her strength shabbathizes; and the mountains of Yisra El desolate so that no one passes through: ²⁹ and they know I - Yah Veh when I give the land a desolation and desolate because of all the abhorrences they work. ³⁰ And you, son of humanity, the sons of your people still word against you beside the walls and in the portals of the houses; and they word one to one, every man to his brother, saying, Come, I beseech you, and hear the word that comes from Yah Veh. ³¹ And they come to you as people approaching and they sit at your face as my people; and they hear your words, and work them not: for they work pantings with their mouth but their heart goes after their greedy gain: ³² and behold, you are to them as a song of pantings - of a beautiful voice strumming goodly on an instrument: for they hear your words, and they work them not. ³³ And when this approaches - behold, it approaches then they know a prophet is among them.
