23. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 24. Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many; the land is given us for inheritance. 25. Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? 26. Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land? 27. Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that [be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 28. For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. 29. Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

Then the word. Verses 23-29 constitute a new section of the prophecy delivered, perhaps, immediately after the arrival of the fugitive, although an interval may have elapsed. No dates are given for the prophecies beginning here and extending to the end of ch. 39. Chapters 40-48 are dated about 12 years after the fall of Jerusalem. It is probable that the present series came at intervals during this 12-year period (see p. 572).
