Ezekiel 22:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 People among you accept bribes to kill somebody. When some of you lend money to people, you make them pay more money back to you. Some of you use your power to make people give you money. You people of Jerusalem have forgotten me. That is what the Lord says.
13 Listen to me! I will show you that I am angry with you. You have cheated people and taken their money. You have murdered people who live among you. 14 When I have punished you, you will no longer feel brave or strong. I, the Lord, have said what I will do. And I will do it.

Ezekiel 22:12-14
New International Version
12 In you are people who accept bribes(A) to shed blood; you take interest(B) and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors.(C) And you have forgotten(D) me, declares the Sovereign Lord.(E)
13 “‘I will surely strike my hands(F) together at the unjust gain(G) you have made and at the blood(H) you have shed in your midst.(I) 14 Will your courage endure(J) or your hands(K) be strong in the day I deal with you? I the Lord have spoken,(L) and I will do it.(M)
