Ezekiel 22:26

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them." — Ezekiel 22:26 (ASV)

Have violated my law. —The next class to be spoken of, as the next in influence, were the priests. It was their special office to observe and to teach the distinction between the holy and the unholy (Leviticus 10:10), and to care for the Sabbath. In all they had been unfaithful. (Zephaniah 3:4.)
