Ezekiel 22:9
men that carry tales—informers, who by misrepresentations cause innocent blood to be shed (Leviticus 19:16). Literally, "one who goes to and fro as a merchant."
7 In you they have amade light of father and mother; in your midst they have boppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the1 fatherless and the widow.
8 You have despised My holy things and aprofaned My Sabbaths.
9 In you are amen who slander to cause bloodshed; bin you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.
10 In you men auncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are bset apart during their impurity.
11 One commits abomination awith his neighbor’s wife; banother lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you violates his sister, his father’s cdaughter.
12 In you athey take bribes to shed blood; byou take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and chave forgotten Me,” says the Lord God.
13 “Behold, therefore, I abeat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.
