Ezekiel 22:27-29

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁷ Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and ^(A)destroying lives in order to get ^(B)dishonest gain. ²⁸ Her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing ^(C)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 have practiced ^(D)oppression and committed robbery, and they have wronged the poor and needy and have ^(E)oppressed the sojourner without justice.
