Ezekiel 22:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath.

²⁵ There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof.

²⁶ Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
