Ezekiel 22:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 And her [a]prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanities, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken.
29 The people of the land have violently oppressed by spoiling and robbing, and have vexed the poor and the needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger against right.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should [b]make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
