therefore you shall no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, says the Lord God;
15
and no longer will I let you hear the insults of the nations, no longer shall you bear the disgrace of the peoples; and no longer shall you cause your nation to stumble, says the Lord God.

The word of the Lord came to me:
17
Mortal, when the house of Israel lived on their own soil, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds; their conduct in my sight was like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual period.
18
So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for the idols with which they had defiled it.
