Context of Ezekiel 22:13
11One commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates his sister – his father’s daughter – within you. 12They take bribes within you to shed blood. You engage in usury and charge interest; you extort money from your neighbors. You have forgotten me, declares the sovereign Lord. “‘See, I strike my hands together at the dishonest profit you have made, and at the bloodshed they have done among you. 14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong when I deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it! 15I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among various countries; I will remove your impurity from you.
