Context
27Maafisa wake walioko ndani yake ni kama mbwa mwitu wararuao mawindo yao, wanamwaga damu na kuua watu ili kupata faida ya udhalimu. 28Manabii wake wanapaka chokaa matendo haya kwa maono ya uongo na utabiri wa udanganyifu. Wanasema, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo,’ wakati Bwana hajasema. 29Watu wa nchi wanatoza kwa nguvu na kufanya unyangʼanyi, wanawatenda jeuri maskini na wahitaji na kuwaonea wageni, wakiwanyima haki. 30“Nami nikatafuta mtu miongoni mwao, ambaye angejenga ukuta na kusimama mbele zangu mahali palipobomoka kwa ajili ya watu wa nchi ili nisije nikaiangamiza, lakini sikumwona mtu yeyote. 31Hivyo nitaimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu yao na kuwateketeza kwa moto wa hasira yangu, nikiyaleta juu ya vichwa vyao yale yote waliyotenda, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
