Ezekiel:22:25-31
rsv@Ezekiel:22:25 @ Her princes in the midst of her are like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:26 @ Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:27 @ Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:28 @ And her prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, `Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD has not spoken.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:29 @ The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery; they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have extorted from the sojourner without redress.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:30 @ And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:31 @ Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath; their way have I requited upon their heads, says the Lord GOD."
