Ezekiel 36:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Renewal of Israel

¹⁶ The word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁷ “Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their doings; their conduct before me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity. ¹⁸ So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood which they had shed in the land, for the idols with which they had defiled it.
