Ezekiel 36:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

¹⁷ Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.

¹⁸ And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.
