Context of Ezekiel 22:14

12Other people take bribes to murder people. You collect interest and make excessive profits. You make profits by mistreating your neighbors. You have forgotten me, declares the Almighty Lord. 13“ ‘I will use my power against you because of the excessive profits you have made and the murders you have committed. Will you still be brave? Will you remain strong when I deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it. 15I will scatter you among the nations and force you into other countries. I will put an end to your uncleanness. 16You will be dishonored in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
