Ezekiel 36:16-20

16The Lord spoke his word to me. He said,

17“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they dishonored it by the way they lived and by everything they did. Their ways were as unclean  as a woman’s menstrual period.

18So I poured out my fury on them because they poured out blood on the land and they dishonored the land with their idols.

19I forced them into other nations, and they became scattered among the nations. I judged them based on the way that they lived and based on everything that they had done.

20But wherever they went among the nations, they dishonored my holy name. People said about them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, yet they had to leave his land.’
