Ezekiel:33:24-33
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:24 @ "Son of man, they who inhabit those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, "Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.'
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:25 @ "Therefore say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:26 @ You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you defile one another's wives. Should you then possess the land?"'
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:27 @ "Say thus to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "As I live, surely those who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and caves shall die of the pestilence.
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:28 @ For I will make the land most desolate, her arrogant strength shall cease, and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:29 @ Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed."'
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:30 @ "As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, "Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the LORD.'
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:31 @ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:32 @ Indeed 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 do not do them.
nkjv@Ezekiel:33:33 @ And when this comes to pass--surely it will come--then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
