Context of Ezekiel 22:7
5Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one and full of tumult. 6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood. In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee, have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. 9Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood: and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
