Ezekiel 22:23

23 The Lord spoke to me again.

Ezekiel 22:23 In-Context

21 Yes, I will gather them in Jerusalem, build a fire under them, and melt them with my anger.
22 They will be melted in Jerusalem the way silver is melted in a furnace, and then they will know that they are feeling the anger of the Lord."
23 The Lord spoke to me again.
24 "Mortal man," he said, "tell the Israelites that their land is unholy, and so I am punishing it in my anger.
25 The leaders are like lions roaring over the animals they have killed. They kill the people, take all the money and property they can get, and by their murders leave many widows.
