Ezekiel 33:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Son of man, these who live among the ruins in the land of Israel are saying: “Abraham was only one person, yet he was given possession of the land. Since we are many, the land must be given to us as our possession.”(A) 25 Therefore say to them: Thus says the Lord God: You eat on the mountains, you raise your eyes to your idols, you shed blood—yet you would keep possession of the land?(B) 26 You rely on your swords, you commit abominations, each defiles his neighbor’s wife—yet you would keep possession of the land?
