Context of Ezekiel 22:14

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. When I have punished you, you will no longer feel brave or strong. I, the Lord, have said what I will do. And I will do it. 15I will send you away to live among many other nations. I will stop you doing evil things. 16All the other nations will see that you are useless. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” ’
