13 “‘This is what the Lord God says: People say about you: “You eat people and take children from your nation.”
14 You will not destroy people anymore. You will not make your nation stumble anymore, says the Lord God.
15 I will not make you listen to insults from the nations anymore. You will not suffer shame from them anymore, says the Lord God.’”
16 The Lord spoke his word to me again. He said:
17 “Human being, the nation of Israel was living in their own land. But they made it unclean by their ways and the things they did. Their ways were like a woman’s uncleanness in her time of monthly bleeding.
18 So I poured out my anger against them. I did it because of the murders they did in the land. And I did it because they made the land unclean with their idols.
19 I scattered them among the nations. And they were spread through all the countries. I punished them for how they lived and the things they did.
