Ezekiel 22:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ The officials in her are like wolves ripping up prey. They shed blood and destroy lives for unjust riches. ²⁸ Her prophets have whitewashed everything for them, seeing false visions and making wrong predictions for them, saying, “This is what the Lord God says,” when the Lord hasn’t spoken. ²⁹ The important people of the land have practiced extortion and have committed robbery. They’ve oppressed the poor and mistreated the immigrant. They’ve oppressed and denied justice.
