Context of Ezekiel 22:14

12Among you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest, you have injured your neighbors by oppression, and you have forgotten Me,” declares the Lord God. 13“Behold, then, I strike with My hand your profit which you have made and the bloodshed which is among you. Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong for the days that I will deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken and will act. 15And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among the lands, and I will eliminate your uncleanness from you. 16Then you will defile yourself in the sight of the nations, and you will know that I am the Lord.”’”
