Ezekiel 22:27-29

New International Version

²⁷ Her officials^(A) within her are like wolves^(B) tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people^(C) to make unjust gain.^{(D) 28} Her prophets whitewash^(E) these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations.^(F) They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.^{(G) 29} The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery;^(H) they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner,^(I) denying them justice.^(J)
