Context of Ezekiel 22:8

6“Behold, each prince of Israel has used his own arm’s strength in you to shed blood. 7Father and mother have been treated with contempt; the outsider has been oppressed in your midst; the orphan and the widow have been mistreated in you. You have despised My holy things and profaned My Shabbatot. 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.
