Ezekiel 22:12

Context
22:12 They take bribes within you to shed blood. You engage in usury and charge interest; 1  you extort money from your neighbors. You have forgotten me, 2  declares the sovereign Lord. 3 

1 tn Heb “usury and interest you take.” See 18:13, 17. This kind of economic exploitation violated the law given in Lev 25:36.

2 sn Forgetting the Lord is also addressed in Deut 6:12; 8:11, 14; Jer 3:21; 13:25; Ezek 23:35; Hos 2:15; 8:14; 13:6.

3 tn The second person verb forms are feminine singular in Hebrew, indicating that the personified city is addressed here as representing its citizens.
