Contextual Overview
1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 2 And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her disgusting behaviors. 3 And you shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her! 4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one [and] full of tumult. 6 Look, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. 7 In you they have set light by father and mother; in the midst of you they have dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths. 9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness. 10 In you they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you they have humbled her that was unclean in her impurity.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood,.... Innocent blood, as the Targum; such who go from house to house, as pedlars do, with their wares or spices, as the word a signifies; hence the Syriac version renders it "merchants"; and carry tales and lies of innocent persons, and stir up others against them to wrath and revenge, and shed their blood; or that go to the courts of judicature, and there accuse innocent persons, and bear false witness against them, to the taking away of their lives. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it "thieves": who commonly are murderers: and in thee they eat upon the mountains; that is, there were such in Jerusalem who used to go to the mountains where idols were worshipped, and eat the things that were sacrificed to them; or partook of the feast made to the honour of them. So the Targum,
"in thee they served idols on the mountains:''
in the midst of thee they commit lewdness; a general word for all manner of uncleanness, as adultery, fornication, incest, c. of which some particulars follow.
a אנשי רכיל "homines mercaturae, [vel] aromatis" so Ben Melech observes.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 22:9. In thee are men that carry tales — Witnesses that will swear any thing, even where life is concerned.
They eat upon the mountains — Sacrifice to idols, and celebrate their festivals.
