Sins mentioned in the Bible

Vexing orphans and widows

Ezekiel 22:7 

n you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the alien and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.

Despising holy things 

Ezekiel 22:8 

You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.

Taking interest money

Ezekiel 18:8 

He does not lend at usury or take excessive interest. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between man and man.

Ezekiel 18:13 

He lends at usury and takes excessive interest. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he will surely be put to death and his blood will be on his own head.

Ezekiel 18:16-17 

16 He does not oppress anyone or require a pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked.

17 He withholds his hand from sin and takes no usury or excessive interest. He keeps my laws and follows my decrees. He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live.

Ezekiel 22:12 

In you men accept bribes to shed blood; you take usury and excessive interest and make unjust gain from your neighbors by extortion. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.

Extorting from others

Ezekiel 22:12 

In you men accept bribes to shed blood; you take usury and excessive interest and make unjust gain from your neighbors by extortion. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.

Profaning God

Ezekiel 22:26 

Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

Union with monstrous women

Ezekiel 18:6 

He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor's wife or lie with a woman during her period.
