Ezekiel 22:23-31
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land, that is unclean, [a]and not rained upon in the day of wrath.
25 There is a conspiracy [b]of her prophets in the midst thereof like a roaring lion, ravening the prey: they have devoured souls: they have taken the riches and precious things: they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
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 [c]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 [d]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.
29 The people of the land have violently oppressed by spoiling and robbing, and have vexed the poor and the needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger against right.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should [e]make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them, and consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own ways have I rendered upon their heads, saith the Lord God.
