Ezekiel 22:25-28 Because, her princes in her midst, are like a roaring lion, rending prey,––Life, have they devoured, Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Because, her princes in her midst, are like a roaring lion, rending prey,––Life, have they devoured, Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst. ²⁶ Her priests, have done violence to my law, And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And, between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern,––And, from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst. ²⁷ Her rulers within her, have been like wolves, rending prey,––In shedding blood, In destroying lives, For the sake of getting dishonest gain. ²⁸ And, her prophets, have coated it for them with whitewash, Seeing visions of falsehood, And divining for them lies,––Saying, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not spoken.
