25 (A)The conspiracy of her [a]prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they (B)have devoured [b]people; (C)they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 (D)Her priests have [c]violated My law and (E)profaned My holy things; they have not (F)distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. 27 Her (G)princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy [d]people, and to get dishonest gain. 28 (H)Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, (I)seeing false visions, and divining (J)lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully (K)oppress the stranger. 30 (L)So I sought for a man among them who would (M)make a wall, and (N)stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 Therefore I have (O)poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed (P)their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.

25 There is a conspiracy(A) of her princes[a] within her like a roaring lion(B) tearing its prey; they devour people,(C) take treasures and precious things and make many widows(D) within her. 26 Her priests do violence to my law(E) and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common;(F) they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;(G) and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned(H) among them.(I) 27 Her officials(J) within her are like wolves(K) tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people(L) to make unjust gain.(M) 28 Her prophets whitewash(N) these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations.(O) They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.(P) 29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery;(Q) they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner,(R) denying them justice.(S)
30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall(T) and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.(U) 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger,(V) bringing down(W) on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.(X)”
