Read in context

Ezekiel 22:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.

12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.

13 Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.

14 Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.

15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
