22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have apoured out My fury on you.’ ”
Israel’s Wicked Leaders
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that is anot cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’
25 aThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they bhave devoured people; cthey have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.
26 aHer priests have violated My law and bprofaned My holy things; they have not cdistinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27 Her aprinces in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy1 people, and to get dishonest gain.
28 aHer prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, bseeing false visions, and divining clies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken.
