Yechezkel 22:23-31 יחזקאל כ״ב:כ״ג-ל״א

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, say to her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst of her.

Her priests have violated my Tora, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have hidden their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

And her prophets have daubed them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord God, when the Lord has not spoken.

The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery, and have wronged the poor and needy: indeed, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the breach before me the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, says the Lord God.
