Ezekiel 22:29-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery.^(A) They have oppressed the poor and needy and unlawfully exploited the foreign resident. ³⁰ I searched for a man among them who would repair the wall^(B) and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land so that I might not destroy it,^(C) but I found no one. ³¹ So I have poured out My indignation on them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their actions down on their own heads.”^(D) This is the declaration of the Lord God.
