“ Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying,‘ Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many.

So should you possess the land?You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’“ You shall tell them,‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give he who is in the open field to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment.

The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
