Ezekiel 11:14-16

14Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

15“Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, 1your fellow exiles, and the entire house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Keep far from the Lord; this land has been given 2to us as a possession.’

16Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Though I had removed them far away among the nations, and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a 3sanctuary for them for a little while in the countries where they had gone.”’
