Contextual Overview
1 The word of the Lord came to me. He said, 2 "Son of man, will you judge the city of murderers? Will you tell her about all the terrible things she has done? 3 You must say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: The city is full of murderers, so her time of punishment will come. She made filthy idols for herself, and those idols made her filthy! 4 "‘People of Jerusalem, you killed many people. You made filthy idols. You are guilty, and the time has come to punish you. Your end has come. Other nations will make fun of you and laugh at you. 5 People far and near will make fun of you. You have ruined your name. You are filled with confusion. 6 "‘Look, all the leaders in Israel are using their strength just to kill other people. 7 And the people in Jerusalem don't respect their parents. There in the city, they abuse the foreigners. They cheat orphans and widows in that place. 8 You hate all that I consider holy. You treat my special days of rest as if they are not important. 9 In Jerusalem, people tell lies in order to kill innocent people. They go to the mountains to worship false gods and then come back to Jerusalem to eat their fellowship meals. "‘In Jerusalem, people commit many sexual sins. 10 There men commit sexual sins with their father's wife. There the men rape women—even during their monthly time of bleeding.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city?.... Or, "city of bloods" y? the city of Jerusalem, in which was shed the blood of the prophets sent unto her; the doubling of the word denotes the vehemency with which it was expressed: wilt thou plead for and excuse such a city as this? surely no; so some: or wilt thou do thy work and office as a prophet? hast thou courage enough to do it? will thou rebuke and reprove? as the Targum; wilt thou examine her case, judge truly, and condemn her, as thou oughtest to do? hast thou an inclination to take this affair in hand? then be directed to it, as follows:
yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations; lay them before her; convict her of them; show her the evil of them, and the punishment they deserve; every kind of sin she was guilty of; for, as for particular acts, it was impossible to reckon them; those sins that were the most flagrant, and most frequently committed, and which were abominable to the Lord, and rendered her so in his sight, are intended.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 22:2. Wilt thou judge the bloody city — Pronounce the sentence of death against the murderers.
Show her all her abominations. — And a most revolting and dreadful catalogue of these is in consequence exhibited.
