Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 33:25

"Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes unto your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?" — Ezekiel 33:25 (ASV)

You eat with the blood.— The people who remained in the land went on as before in their course of sin. The crimes here charged against them (Ezekiel 33:25–26) are the same as those consistently alleged against them, and Jeremiah gives a sad picture of their open rebellion against the express commands of God (Jeremiah 42 and 43). This particular sin of eating flesh with the blood had been repeatedly forbidden, first to Noah (Genesis 9:4), and again under the Law (Leviticus 3:17; Leviticus 7:26; Leviticus 17:10–14; Deuteronomy 12:16).
