Ezekiel 33:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ Desolation in Judah. This word of the Lord then came to me: ²⁴ Son of man, those people who live in the ruins of the land of Israel say repeatedly, “Even though he was merely one person, Abraham received possession of this country. But we are many in number. Surely the land has been given to us as our possession.”

²⁵ Tell them this in response: Thus says the Lord God: You consume meat with the blood still in it, you raise your eyes to worship idols, and you shed blood. Should you then be permitted to possess the land?
