Ezekiel 22:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 Her Priests have broken my Law, and have defiled mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither discerned between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their [a]eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Her princes in (A)the midst thereof are like wolves, ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls for their own covetous lucre.
28 And her [b]prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanities, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken.

New International Version
26 Her priests do violence to my law(A) and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common;(B) they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;(C) and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned(D) among them.(E) 27 Her officials(F) within her are like wolves(G) tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people(H) to make unjust gain.(I) 28 Her prophets whitewash(J) these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations.(K) They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.(L)
