23Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
24Son of man, the people living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, 'Abraham was only one man, yet he inherited the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.'
25Therefore, say to them, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: You eat meat with the blood still in it, you look to your idols, and you shed blood. Should you then possess the land?'
26You rely on your swords, you commit detestable acts, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?
