¹⁷ “Son of man,^[a] the house of Israel, they were dwelling on their soil, and they defiled it with their way and with their deeds; like the uncleanness of menstruation was their way before me.^{[b] 18} And I poured out my rage on them for the blood that they poured on the land and for their idols with which they defiled it. ¹⁹ And I scattered them among the nations, and I dispersed them in the countries according to their way, and according to their deeds I judged them.
