Ezekiel 22:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 Her priests do violence to My instruction and profane My holy things.(A) They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they do not explain the difference between the clean and the unclean.(B) They disregard[a] My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 “Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives in order to make profit dishonestly. 28 Her prophets plaster with whitewash for them by seeing false visions and lying divinations,(C) and they say, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
