²³ And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ²⁴ “Son of man, say to her, ‘You are a land that is ^(A)not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’ ²⁵ There is a ^(B)conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have ^(C)devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many ^(D)widows in the midst of her. ²⁶ Her ^(E)priests have done violence to My law and have ^(F)profaned My holy things; they have made no ^(G)separation between the holy and the profane, and they have not made known the difference between the ^(H)unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. ²⁷ Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey by shedding blood and ^(I)destroying lives in order to get ^(J)greedy gain. ²⁸ And her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, beholding ^(K)worthless visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,’ when Yahweh has not spoken. ²⁹ The people of the land have practiced ^(L)oppression and committed robbery, and they have mistreated the afflicted and needy and have ^(M)oppressed the sojourner without justice. ³⁰ And I ^(N)searched for a man among them who would ^(O)build up the wall and ^(P)stand in the breach before Me for the land, so that I would not bring it to ruin; but I found ^[a]no one. ³¹ Thus I have poured out My ^(Q)indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My fury; ^(R)their way I have brought upon their heads,” declares Lord Yahweh.
