Ezekiel 22:26

Highlighting The Sins And The Judgments Of Israel

²⁵ thy Prophets that are in thee are sworn together to devour souls, like as a roaring Lion that liveth by his prey. They receive riches and good, and make many widows in thee. ²⁶ Thy priests break my law, and defile my Sanctuary. They put no difference between the holy and unholy, neither discern between the clean and unclean: they turn their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am unhallowed among them. ²⁷ Thy rulers in thee are like ravishing wolves, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, for their own covetous lucre.
