24 “Son of man, those who live in theB ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one person,k yet he received possession of the land.l But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’m 25 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with blood in it,n you look to your idols, and you shed blood. Should you then receive possession of the land? 26 You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then receive possession of the land?’o
