Ezekiel 22:23-31

23And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559,

24“SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 to her, ‘You are a landH776 that is 1not cleanH2891 or rainedH1652 on in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.’

25There is a 2conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in her midstH8432 like a roaringH7580 lionH738 tearingH2963 the preyH2964. They have 3devouredH398 livesH5315; they have takenH3947 treasureH2633 and preciousH3366 thingsH3366; they have madeH7235 manyH7235 4widowsH490 in the midstH8432 of her.

26Her 5priestsH3548 have doneH2554 violenceH2554 to My LawH8451 and have 6profanedH2490 My holyH6944 thingsH6944; they have madeH914 noH3808 7distinctionH914 betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the 8commonH2455, and they have not taughtH3045 the difference betweenH996 the 9uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889; and they have closedH5956 their eyesH5869 from My SabbathsH7676, and I am defiledH2490 amongH8432 them.

27Her leadersH8269 withinH7130 her are like wolvesH2061 tearingH2963 the preyH2964, by sheddingH8210 bloodH1818 and 10destroyingH6 livesH5315 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 makeH1214 11dishonestH1215 profitH1215.

28And her prophetsH5030 have coatedH2902 with whitewashH8602 for them, seeingH2372 12falseH7723 visionsH2372 and diviningH7080 liesH3577 for them, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559,’ when the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696.

29The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have practicedH6231 13extortionH6233 and committedH1497 robberyH1498, and they have oppressedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and have 14oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 withoutH3808 justiceH4941.

30I 15searchedH1245 for a manH376 amongH4480 them who would 16buildH1443 upH1443 a wallH1447 and 17standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 Me for the landH776, soH1115 thatH1115 I would notH1115 destroyH7843 it; but I foundH4672 18noH3808 one.

31So I have pouredH8210 outH8210 My 19indignationH2195 on them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of My wrathH5678; I have broughtH5414 20their wayH1870 upon their headsH7218,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
