25 The conspiracy of her princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured the soul; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 Her priests have done violence to My law, and have profaned My holy things; between the holy and the profane they do not separate, and between the unclean and the clean they do not discern; and from My Sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, and I am profaned in their midst! 27 Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, and to break off dishonest gain. 28 And her prophets have covered them with whitewash, seeing falsehood and divining for them a lie, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord YHWH,’ and YHWH has not spoken. 29 The people of the land with oppression have oppressed, and with robbery have robbed, and the poor and the needy they have mistreated; and the sojourner they oppress without justice.
