Ezekiel 22:29-31
New Century Version
29 The people cheat others and steal. They hurt people who are poor and needy. They cheat foreigners and do not treat them fairly.
30 “I looked for someone to build up the walls and to stand before me where the walls are broken to defend these people so I would not have to destroy them. But I could not find anyone. 31 So I let them see my anger. I destroyed them with an anger that was like fire because of all the things they have done, says the Lord God.”
