Ezekiel 22:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 A conspiracy of its princes is like a roaring lion tearing prey; they devour people, seizing their wealth and precious things, making many widows within her.(A) 26 Her priests violate my law and desecrate what I consider holy; they do not distinguish between holy and common, nor teach the difference between unclean and clean; they pay no attention to my sabbaths, so that I have been desecrated in their midst.(B) 27 (C)Within her, her officials are like wolves tearing prey, shedding blood and destroying lives to extort profit.
