Ezekiel 33:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ So say to them: ‘This is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it [^Cforbidden in the law; Lev. 19:26], you ·ask your idols for help [^Lraise your eyes to your idols], and you ·murder people [^Lshed blood]. Should you then ·have the land as your very own [possess the land]? ²⁶ You depend on your sword and do ·terrible things that I hate [detestable/abominable things]. Each of you ·has sexual relations with [defiles] his neighbor’s wife. So should you ·have [possess] the land?’

²⁷ “Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord God says: As surely as I live, those who are among the city ruins in Israel will ·be killed in war [^Lfall by the sword]. I will cause those who live in the ·country [open field] to be eaten by wild animals. People ·hiding in [^Lin] the strongholds and caves will die of ·disease [plague; pestilence].
