Ezekiel 22:27-29
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
27 Its officials within it are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain. 28 Its prophets have smeared whitewash on their behalf, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God’, when the Lord has not spoken. 29 The people of the land have practised extortion and committed robbery; they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have extorted from the alien without redress.
