15 Neither will I cause men to hear in you the shame of the nations any more, neither shall you bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shall you cause your nation to fall any more, says the Lord GOD.
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18 Therefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it:
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20 And when they entered unto the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and have gone forth out of his land.
21 But I had pity because of my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
