Sins of the People

²³ The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying: ²⁴ “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], say to the land, ‘You are a land that ·has not had rain or [or is not cleansed with] showers ·when God is angry [^Lin the day of wrath/indignation].’ ²⁵ Like a roaring lion that tears ·the animal it has caught [its prey], Israel’s ·rulers^[a] [princes] ·make evil plans [conspire]. They have ·destroyed [devoured] lives and have taken treasure and ·valuable [precious] things. They have caused many women to become widows.
