sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:22 @ Now the inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:23 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:24 @ Son of man, they that dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must be given to us for an inheritance.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:25 @ Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to possess the land?

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:26 @ Ye depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbors wife: and ye expect to possess the land?

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:27 @ Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through the pestilence.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:28 @ And I will render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:29 @ And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:30 @ And thou, son of man, the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth from the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Ezekiel:33:31 @ And then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.
