14. therefore you will no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the sovereign Lord.
15. I will no longer subject you to the nations’ insults; no longer will you bear the shame of the peoples, and no longer will you bereave your nation, declares the sovereign Lord.’”
16. The word of the Lord came to me:
17. “Son of man, when the house of Israel was living on their own land, they defiled it by their behavior and their deeds. In my sight their behavior was like the uncleanness of a woman having her monthly period.
18. So I poured my anger on them because of the blood they shed on the land and because of the idols with which they defiled it.
