Ezekiel 22:27-29

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁷ ‘Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives in order to make profit dishonestly. ²⁸ Her prophets plaster for them with whitewash by seeing false visions and lying divinations,^(A) saying, “This is what the Lord God says,” when the Lord has not spoken. ²⁹ The people of the land have practised extortion and committed robbery.^(B) They have oppressed the poor and needy and unlawfully exploited the resident foreigner.
