Context of Ezekiel 22:11

9Slanderous men are in you in order to shed blood. They have eaten at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts in your midst. 10They have uncovered their fathers’ nakedness in you; they violate women that are in niddah within you. One has been detestable with his neighbor’s wife; another has wickedly defiled his daughter-in-law; yet another has violated his sister, his father’s daughter, in you. 12They accept bribes in order to shed blood in you; you have taken usurious interest. You have greedily gained by oppressing your neighbors, and you have forgotten Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 13“Now look, I clap My hands at your dishonest gain that you have made and at your bloodshed in your midst.

Israel's many sins showed a failure to honor and trust the Lord and his commands.
