Ezekiel 22:24-27

24Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is anot cleansed bor rained upon in the day of indignation. 25 cThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is dlike a roaring lion etearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 fHer priests ghave done violence to my law and hhave profaned my holy things. iThey have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and jthey have disregarded my Sabbaths, kso that I am profaned among them. 27 lHer princes in her midst are like wolves mtearing the prey, nshedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain.

Hosea 4:2-3

2 othere is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
they break all bounds, and pbloodshed follows bloodshed.
3Therefore qthe land mourns,
and all who dwell in it languish,
rand also the beasts of the field
and the birds of the heavens,
sand even the fish of the sea are taken away.

Micah 4:11

11 Now tmany nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
and ulet our eyes gaze upon Zion.”

Some manuscripts omit  the son of Barachiah
whom you murdered between althe sanctuary and amthe altar.
