Ezekiel 22:26-28
Living Bible
26 Your priests have violated my laws and defiled my Temple and my holiness. To them the things of God are no more important than any daily task. They have not taught my people the difference between right and wrong, and they disregard my Sabbaths, so my holy name is greatly defiled among them. 27 Your leaders are like wolves, who tear apart their victims, and they destroy lives for profit. 28 Your ‘prophets’ describe false visions and speak false messages they claim are from God, when he hasn’t spoken one word to them at all. Thus they repair the walls with whitewash!

Ezekiel 22:26-28
New International Version
26 Her priests do violence to my law(A) and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common;(B) they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;(C) and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned(D) among them.(E) 27 Her officials(F) within her are like wolves(G) tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people(H) to make unjust gain.(I) 28 Her prophets whitewash(J) these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations.(K) They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.(L)
