Context of Ezekiel 36:15
13Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men and you deprive your nation of children,’ 14therefore you will no longer devour men and you will no longer deprive your nation of children.” It is a declaration of Adonai. “I will no longer let the scorn of the nations be heard against you. You will no longer bear disgrace from the peoples. You will no longer cause your nation to stumble.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 16The word of Adonai came to me saying: 17“Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their deeds. Their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her niddah .
