web Ezekiel:33:21-33
web@Ezekiel:33:21 @ It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city has been struck.
web@Ezekiel:33:22 @ Now the hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
web@Ezekiel:33:23 @ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
web@Ezekiel:33:24 @ Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
web@Ezekiel:33:25 @ Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
web@Ezekiel:33:26 @ You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?
web@Ezekiel:33:27 @ You shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
web@Ezekiel:33:28 @ I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
web@Ezekiel:33:29 @ Then shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
web@Ezekiel:33:30 @ As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Yahweh.
web@Ezekiel:33:31 @ They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
web@Ezekiel:33:32 @ Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don't do them.
web@Ezekiel:33:33 @ When this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
