Ezekiel 22:27-29

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ Its officials are like wolves tearing prey in its midst, to pour out blood, to destroy people, to make dishonest gain. ²⁸ And for them its prophets plaster whitewash; they are seeing falseness and are practicing divination for them by lying, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh,’ and Yahweh has not spoken. ²⁹ They severely oppress the people of the land, and they committed robbery,^[a] and they mistreated the needy and the poor, and they oppressed the alien without^[b] justice.
