Ezekiel 22:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ The government officials are like wolves tearing apart the animals they have killed. They commit murder in order to get rich. ²⁸ The prophets have hidden these sins like workers covering a wall with whitewash. They see false visions and make false predictions. They claim to speak the word of the Sovereign Lord, but I, the Lord, have not spoken to them. ²⁹ The wealthy cheat and rob. They mistreat the poor and take advantage of foreigners.
