Ezekiel 22:23-29

23And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 24“SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to her, ‘In the dayH3117 of indignationH2195, youH859 are a landH776 that has notH3808 been cleansedH2891, upon whichH1931H3808 no rain has fallenH1656.’

25The conspiracyH7195 of the princesH50301 in her midstH8432 is like a roaringH7580 lionH738 tearingH2963 its preyH2964. They devourH398 the peopleH5315, seizeH3947 the treasuresH2633 and precious thingsH3366, and multiplyH7235 the widowsH490 within herH8432.

26Her priestsH3548 do violence toH2554 My lawH8451 and profaneH2490 My holy thingsH6944. They make noH3808 distinctionH914 betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the commonH2455, and they failH3808 to distinguishH3045 betweenH996 the cleanH2889 and the uncleanH2931. They disregardH5956H5869 My SabbathsH7676, so that I am profanedH2490 among themH8432.

27Her officialsH8269 within herH7130 are like wolvesH2061 tearingH2963 their preyH2964, sheddingH8210 bloodH1818, and destroyingH6 livesH5315 forH4616 dishonest gainH1214H1215.

28Her prophetsH5030 whitewashH2902H8602 these deeds by falseH7723 visionsH2372 and lyingH3577 divinationsH7080, sayingH559, ‘This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559,’ when the LORDH3068 has notH3808 spokenH1696.

29The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have practicedH6231 extortionH6233 and committed robberyH1497H1498. They have oppressedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34 and have exploitedH6231 the foreign residentH1616 withoutH3808 justiceH4941.
