Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?

Verse 26 is found in chapter 33 of Ezekiel. News arrives of Jerusalem’s fall, and Ezekiel’s mouth is opened. The survivors remaining in the land continue trusting in their possession of the territory while practicing injustice. The city’s destruction does not end the self-deception of those left behind.

Ja, ihr fahret immer fort mit Morden und übet Greuel, und einer schändet dem andern sein Weib; und ihr meint, ihr wollt das Land besitzen?
Estuvisteis sobre vuestras espadas, hicisteis abominación, y contaminasteis cada cual la mujer de su prójimo: ¿y habréis de poseer la tierra?
Se apoyan en sus espadas, cometen abominaciones y cada uno deshonra a la mujer de su prójimo. ¿Y van a tomar posesión de la tierra?
Vous vous appuyez sur votre épée, vous commettez des abominations, chacun de vous déshonore la femme de son prochain. Et vous posséderiez le pays!
Voi vi mantenete in su la vostra spada, voi fate cose abbominevoli, e contaminate ciascuno la moglie del suo prossimo; e possedereste voi il paese?
Vós vos estribais sobre a vossa espada, cometeis abominação, e cada um contamina a mulher do seu próximo! E possuireis a terra?
你們倚靠自己的刀劍行可憎的事,人人污辱鄰舍的妻,你們還能得這地為業嗎?
