Verse 12

Who is the wise{H2450} man{H376}, that may understand{H995}{(H8799)} this? and who is he to whom the mouth{H6310} of the LORD{H3068} hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}, that he may declare{H5046}{(H8686)} it, for what the land{H776} perisheth{H6}{(H8804)} and is burned up{H3341}{(H8738)} like a wilderness{H4057}, that none passeth through{H5674}{(H8802)}?

Ezek 22:25-31 : 25 There is a conspiracy{H7195} of her prophets{H5030} in the midst{H8432} thereof, like a roaring{H7580}{(H8802)} lion{H738} ravening{H2963}{(H8802)} the prey{H2964}; they have devoured{H398}{(H8804)} souls{H5315}; they have taken{H3947}{(H8799)} the treasure{H2633} and precious things{H3366}; they have made her many{H7235}{(H8689)} widows{H490} in the midst{H8432} thereof. 26 Her priests{H3548} have violated{H2554}{(H8804)} my law{H8451}, and have profaned{H2490}{(H8762)} mine holy things{H6944}: they have put no difference{H914}{(H8689)} between the holy{H6944} and profane{H2455}, neither have they shewed{H3045}{(H8689)} difference between the unclean{H2931} and the clean{H2889}, and have hid{H5956}{(H8689)} their eyes{H5869} from my sabbaths{H7676}, and I am profaned{H2490}{(H8735)} among{H8432} them. 27 Her princes{H8269} in the midst{H7130} thereof are like wolves{H2061} ravening{H2963}{(H8802)} the prey{H2964}, to shed{H8210}{(H8800)} blood{H1818}, and to destroy{H6}{(H8763)} souls{H5315}, to get{H1214}{(H8800)} dishonest gain{H1215}. 28 And her prophets{H5030} have daubed{H2902}{(H8804)} them with untempered{H8602} morter, seeing{H2374} vanity{H7723}, and divining{H7080}{(H8802)} lies{H3577} unto them, saying{H559}{(H8802)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, when the LORD{H3068} hath not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}. 29 The people{H5971} of the land{H776} have used oppression{H6231}{(H8804)}{H6233}, and exercised{H1497}{(H8804)} robbery{H1498}, and have vexed{H3238}{(H8689)} the poor{H6041} and needy{H34}: yea, they have oppressed{H6231}{(H8804)} the stranger{H1616} wrongfully{H4941}. 30 And I sought{H1245}{(H8762)} for a man{H376} among them, that should make up{H1443}{(H8802)} the hedge{H1447}, and stand{H5975}{(H8802)} in the gap{H6556} before{H6440} me for the land{H776}, that I should not destroy{H7843}{(H8763)} it: but I found{H4672}{(H8804)} none. 31 Therefore have I poured out{H8210}{(H8799)} mine indignation{H2195} upon them; I have consumed{H3615}{(H8765)} them with the fire{H784} of my wrath{H5678}: their own way{H1870} have I recompensed{H5414}{(H8804)} upon their heads{H7218}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
