Context of Ezekiel 22:8

6Each ruler of Israel that lives in you, Jerusalem, has been a murderer. Each one has used his power to kill people. 7The people in the city do not respect their parents. They have been cruel to the foreigners who live among you. They have cheated widows and children who have no family. You have not respected my holy things. You have not made my Sabbath days special. 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.
