Ezekiel 33:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, and said,
24 Son of man, these that dwell in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talk and say, [a]Abraham was but one, and he possessed the land: but we are many, therefore the land shall be given us in possession.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Ye eat with the [b]blood, and lifted up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: should ye then possess the land?
