Context of Ezekiel 22:14

12People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten me. This is the declaration of the Lord God. 13“‘Now look, I clap my hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you. Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act. 15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you among the countries; I will purge your uncleanness. 16You will be profaned in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
