Ezekiel 22:24 DBY

²²  As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I Jehovah have poured out my fury upon you.

²³  And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²⁴  Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

²⁵  There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they devour souls; they take away treasure and precious things; they increase her widows in the midst of her;

²⁶  her priests do violence to my law, and profane my holy things: they put no difference between the holy and profane, neither do they make known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
