Ezekiel 22:6-8

“Behold the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. In you have they treated dismissively the authority of father and mother. In the midst of you they have dealt with the stranger by oppression. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. You have despised my holy things and have profaned my sabbaths.”

Notice the ‘in you' which is continually repeated in the following verses. God is speaking to Jerusalem and depicting why it is a condemned city because it shares in the sins of its inhabitants.

In it God's commandments have been set at nought, and God's law in Leviticus ignored. Murder was rife, with even their princes vying to demonstrate the level of their authority in terms of blood shed. The authority of parents (Exodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; Leviticus 20:9), advocating restraint, has been set aside. Those on whom God called special favour, the stranger (Leviticus 19:33), the widows and the orphans (Exodus 22:21), the defenceless, have been wronged and ill-treated. God's holy things have been despised and treated as of little account. The sabbaths have been neglected and profaned (compare Leviticus 19:3). This was the condition of Jerusalem egged on by their leaders. No wonder it was ripe for judgment.
