Ezekiel 22:25-31
English Standard Version
25 (A)The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is (B)like a roaring lion (C)tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 (D)Her priests (E)have done violence to my law and (F)have profaned my holy things. (G)They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and (H)they have disregarded my Sabbaths, (I)so that I am profaned among them. 27 (J)Her princes in her midst are like wolves (K)tearing the prey, (L)shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain. 28 And (M)her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, (N)seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken. 29 The people of the land (O)have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and (P)have extorted from the sojourner without justice. 30 (Q)And I sought for a man among them (R)who should build up the wall (S)and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. 31 Therefore (T)I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned (U)their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”

22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, (A)will say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick— 23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and (B)salt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, (C)an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, (D)Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations (E)will say, (F)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, (G)bringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord (H)uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and (I)cast them into another land, as they are this day.’
