15 “And I will not let you hear any longer the insult of the nations, and the disgrace of the peoples you will not bear any longer; you yourself will not cause your nation to stumble,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
16 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
17 “Son of man, 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.
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.
20 And they came into the nations to which they went, and they profaned my holy name when they said to them, ‘These are the people of Yahweh, and from his land they went out.’
21 And I was concerned for my holy name, which, the house of Israel defiled among the nations to which they went.
