The Cause of Judah’s Ruin

23 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “Son of man, athey who inhabit those bruins in the land of Israel are saying, c‘Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. dBut we are many; the land has been given to us as a epossession.’  
25 “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: a“You eat meat with blood, you blift up your eyes toward your idols, and cshed blood. Should you then possess the dland?  
26 You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you adefile one another’s wives. Should you then possess the land?” ’  
27 “Say thus to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely athose who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field bI will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and ccaves shall die of the pestilence.  
28 aFor I will make the land most desolate,1 her barrogant strength shall cease, and cthe mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.  
29 Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.” ’

30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they aspeak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’  
31 So athey come to you as people do, they bsit before you as My people, and they chear your words, but they do not do them; dfor with their mouth they show much love, but etheir hearts pursue their own gain.
