Lexham English Bible
25 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You eat blood in your meat, and you raise your eyes to your idols and you pour out blood, and yet you want to take possession of the land?[a] 26 You rely on your sword, you do a detestable thing, and each man defiles[b] the wife of his neighbor, and yet you want to take possession of the land?”’[c]
27 “Thus you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “As I live,[d] surely[e] whoever is in the ruins, by the sword they will fall, and whoever is on the surface of the open field, I will give him to the animals[f] to eat him, and whoever is in the stronghold and in the cave, they will die by the plague.
