Ezekiel 22:21-26 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My fury, and you will be melted within the city.

22. As silver is melted inside a furnace, so you will be melted inside the city. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out My wrath on you.”

23. The word of the Lord came to me:

24. “Son of man, say to her: You are a land that has not been cleansed, that has not received rain in the day of indignation.

25. The conspiracy of her prophets within her is like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they devour people, seize wealth and valuables, and multiply the widows within her.

26. Her priests do violence to My instruction and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they do not explain the difference between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
