Ezekiel 22:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
Ezekiel Speaks Against Jerusalem
23 The word of the Lord came to me. He said, 24 “Son of man, speak to Israel. Tell her that she is not pure.[a] I am angry at that country, so that country has not received its rain. 25 The prophets in Jerusalem are making evil plans. They are like a lion—it roars when it begins to eat the animal it caught. They have destroyed many lives. They have taken many valuable things and made widows of many of the women in Jerusalem.
