Ezekiel 33:25-29
Context33:25 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it, 1 pray to 2 your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess 3 the land? 33:26 You rely 4 on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’
33:27 “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 5 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. 33:28 I 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. 33:29 Then 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.’ 6
