Ezekiel 22:25-30

[There is] a conspiracy
<07195>
of her prophets
<05030>
in the midst
<08432>
thereof, like a roaring
<07580> (8802)
lion
<0738>
ravening
<02963> (8802)
the prey
<02964>_;
they have devoured
<0398> (8804)
souls
<05315>_;
they have taken
<03947> (8799)
the treasure
<02633>
and precious things
<03366>_;
they have made her many
<07235> (8689)
widows
<0490>
in the midst
<08432>
thereof.
Her priests
<03548>
have violated
<02554> (8804)
my law
<08451>_,
and have profaned
<02490> (8762)
mine holy things
<06944>_:
they have put no difference
<0914> (8689)
between the holy
<06944>
and profane
<02455>_,
neither have they shewed
<03045> (8689)
[difference] between the unclean
<02931>
and the clean
<02889>_,
and have hid
<05956> (8689)
their eyes
<05869>
from my sabbaths
<07676>_,
and I am profaned
<02490> (8735)
among
<08432>
them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princes
<08269>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof [are] like wolves
<02061>
ravening
<02963> (8802)
the prey
<02964>_,
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_,
[and] to destroy
<06> (8763)
souls
<05315>_,
to get
<01214> (8800)
dishonest gain
<01215>_.
And her prophets
<05030>
have daubed
<02902> (8804)
them with untempered
<08602>
[morter], seeing
<02374>
vanity
<07723>_,
and divining
<07080> (8802)
lies
<03577>
unto them, saying
<0559> (8802)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
when the LORD
<03068>
hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
The people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
have used oppression
<06231> (8804) <06233>_,
and exercised
<01497> (8804)
robbery
<01498>_,
and have vexed
<03238> (8689)
the poor
<06041>
and needy
<034>_:
yea, they have oppressed
<06231> (8804)
the stranger
<01616>
wrongfully
<04941>_.
{oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I sought
<01245> (8762)
for a man
<0376>
among them, that should make up
<01443> (8802)
the hedge
<01447>_,
and stand
<05975> (8802)
in the gap
<06556>
before
<06440>
me for the land
<0776>_,
that I should not destroy
<07843> (8763)
it: but I found
<04672> (8804)
none.
