Ezekiel 22:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ The conspiracy of princes^[a] in her is like a roaring lion ripping up prey. They’ve piled up wealth and precious goods and made many widows in her. ²⁶ Her priests have done violence to my instructions and made my holy things impure. They have not clearly separated the holy from the ordinary, and they have not taught the difference between unclean and clean things. They’ve disregarded my sabbaths. So I’ve been degraded among them. ²⁷ The officials in her are like wolves ripping up prey. They shed blood and destroy lives for unjust riches.
