Context of Ezekiel 22:11

9There are men among you who tell lies so that they can kill other people. There are people who eat the food of idols on the mountains. They do disgusting things among you. 10Some men have sex with their father's wife. Some men have sex with a woman at the time when she bleeds each month and she is unclean. One man has sex with another man's wife. Another man has sex with his son's wife. Another man among you has sex with the daughter of his own father. These are disgusting things to do. 12People among you accept bribes to kill somebody. When some of you lend money to people, you make them pay more money back to you. Some of you use your power to make people give you money. You people of Jerusalem have forgotten me. That is what the Lord says. 13Listen to me! I will show you that I am angry with you. You have cheated people and taken their money. You have murdered people who live among you.
