Context of Ezekiel 22:4
2And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 3And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her! Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one and full of tumult. 6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
