Exegesis
The comparative particle ki {כִּ | ki} introduces the simile kize’evim {כִּזְאֵבִ֖ים | ki-ze’ēvîm} ‘like wolves,’ which then governs the participle torfei {טֹ֣רְפֵי | tōr-p̄ê} ‘tearing’ with its object teref {טָ֑רֶף | tā-rep̄} ‘prey.’
In context — Ezekiel 22:27
Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing prey, to pour out blood and to destroy souls , in order to make unjust profit .
