therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
15
I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.
18
So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
