24. Son of man, say to her: You are an unclean land receiving no rain at the time of my fury.
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.
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.
27. Within her, her officials are like wolves tearing prey, shedding blood and destroying lives to extort profit.
28. And her prophets cover them with whitewash, seeing false visions and performing lying divinations, saying, “Thus says the Lord God,” although the Lord has not spoken.
