13. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nation,
14. therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;
15. neither will I cause thee to hear the ignominy of the nations any more, and thou shalt not bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to fall any more, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
17. Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation.
18. And I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
19. And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20. And when they came to the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they are gone forth out of his land.
21. But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations whither they went.
22. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations whither ye went.
