NET Bible
"You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’"
— Ezekiel 33:26, NET Bible
“Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?”
“Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall ye possess the land? ”
“You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?”
“You stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbours wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?”
“You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?”
“Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?”
The LORD’s message came to me:
“Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying,‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.’
Therefore say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it, pray to your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess the land?
You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Will you possess the land?’
“This is what you must say to them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease.
I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them.
Then they will know that I am the LORD when I turn the land into a desolate ruin because of all the abominable deeds they have committed.’
