Verse 26
Ezekiel 22:26
New Living Translation
26
Your priests have violated my instructions and defiled my holy things. They make no distinction between what is holy and what is not. And they do not teach my people the difference between what is ceremonially clean and unclean. They disregard my Sabbath days so that I am dishonored among them.

The priests have violated my law and profaned my holy things; they did not distinguish between the holy and the common, nor did they make known the unclean from the clean, and they hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I was profaned among them.
