Ezekiel 36:16-18

New International Version - UK

Israel’s restoration assured

¹⁶ Again the word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁷ ‘Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness in my sight. ¹⁸ So I poured out my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols.
