12 And I will lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without them.
13 Thus says the Lord God: Because they are saying about you, 'You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,'
14 because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own nation, says the Lord God.
15 Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, says the Lord God."
16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 "Son of man, the house of Israel lived on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.
18 And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.
