Context of Ezekiel 22:13
11One 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. “Now look, I clap My hands at your dishonest gain that you have made and at your bloodshed in your midst. 14Will your heart’s courage stand or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Adonai, have spoken it and will do it. 15I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the lands. I will purge your uncleanness from you.
