to pour out blood
This speaks of murdering people as pouring out blood. Alternate translation: "to murder people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

This means that they have oppressed their neighbors by charging them too much interest. Alternate translation: "you have oppressed your neighbors and made them poor" or "you have made your neighbors poor by charging too much interest" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
you have forgotten me
Refusing to obey Yahweh is like forgetting that he exists. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:11. Alternate translation: "this is what the Lord Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, have declared" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
