LEB(i)
26 Its priests treat my law violently, and they profane my holy objects; they do not distinguish between a holy object and what is unholy, or between the clean and the unclean. They do not teach the difference, and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and so I am profaned in the midst of them.
27 Its officials are like wolves tearing prey in its midst, to pour out blood, to destroy people, to make dishonest gain.
28 And for them its prophets plaster whitewash; they are seeing falseness and are practicing divination for them by lying, saying, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh,' and Yahweh has not spoken.
29 They severely oppress the people of the land, and ⌊they committed robbery⌋,* and they mistreated the needy and the poor, and they oppressed the alien ⌊without⌋* justice.
30 And so I sought for them somebody, one repairing the wall and standing in the breach ⌊before me⌋* on behalf of the land not to destroy it, but I did not find anyone,
31 and so I poured out my indignation on them. With the fire of my wrath I destroyed them; I returned their way upon their head," ⌊declares⌋* the Lord Yahweh.
