Ezekiel 22:27-30

22:27

Her princes
<08269>

in the midst
<07130>

thereof [are] like wolves
<02061>

ravening
<02963> (8802)

the prey
<02964>_,

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_,

[and] to destroy
<06> (8763)

souls
<05315>_,

to get
<01214> (8800)

dishonest gain
<01215>_.

22:28

And her prophets
<05030>

have daubed
<02902> (8804)

them with untempered
<08602>

[morter], seeing
<02374>

vanity
<07723>_,

and divining
<07080> (8802)

lies
<03577>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8802)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

22:29

The people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

have used oppression
<06231> (8804) <06233>_,

and exercised
<01497> (8804)

robbery
<01498>_,

and have vexed
<03238> (8689)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_:

yea, they have oppressed
<06231> (8804)

the stranger
<01616>

wrongfully
<04941>_.

{oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}

22:30

And I sought
<01245> (8762)

for a man
<0376>

among them, that should make up
<01443> (8802)

the hedge
<01447>_,

and stand
<05975> (8802)

in the gap
<06556>

before
<06440>

me for the land
<0776>_,

that I should not destroy
<07843> (8763)

it: but I found
<04672> (8804)

none.
