27 Your leaders are like wolves that tear their prey into pieces. They murder and destroy people to make excessive profits.
28 Your prophets cover up these things by seeing false visions and by prophesying lies. They say, “This is what the Almighty Lord says.” Yet, the Lord hasn’t spoken.
29 The common people oppress and rob others. They do wrong to humble people and to poor people. They oppress foreigners for no reason.
30 “‘I looked for someone among you who could build walls or stand in front of me by the gaps in the walls to defend the land and keep it from being destroyed. But I couldn’t find anyone.
31 So I will pour out my anger on you, and with my fiery anger I will consume you. This is because of all the things you have done,’ declares the Almighty Lord.”
