14
But you will never again devour your people or rob them of their children, says the Sovereign LORD .
15
I will not let you hear those other nations insult you, and you will no longer be mocked by them. You will not be a land that causes its nation to fall, says the Sovereign LORD .”
16
Then this further message came to me from the LORD :
17
“Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by the evil way they lived. To me their conduct was as unclean as a woman’s menstrual cloth.
18
They polluted the land with murder and the worship of idols, so I poured out my fury on them.
