Ezekiel 22:25

Context
22:25 Her princes¹ within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they have devoured lives. They take away riches and valuable things; they have made many women widows² within it.

Ezekiel 22:27

Context
22:27 Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey – shedding blood and destroying lives – so they can get dishonest profit.

¹tn Heb “a conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst.” The LXX reads “whose princes” rather than “a conspiracy of prophets.” The prophets are mentioned later in the paragraph (v. 28). If one follows the LXX in verse 25, then five distinct groups are mentioned in vv. 25-29: princes, priests, officials, prophets, and the people of the land. For a defense of the Septuagintal reading, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:720, n. 4.

²tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.
