Ezekiel 36:16-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Renewal of Israel
16 The word of the Lord came to me: 17 Mortal, when the house of Israel lived on their own soil, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds; their conduct in my sight was like the uncleanness of a menstrual period.(A) 18 So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land and for the idols with which they had defiled it.(B) 19 I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries; in accordance with their conduct and their deeds I judged them.(C) 20 But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that it was said of them, “These are the people of the Lord, yet they had to go out of his land.”(D) 21 But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.(E)

Lexham English Bible
16 And the word of Yahweh came[a] to me, saying,[b] 17 “Son of man,[c] 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.[d] 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[e] into the nations to which they went,[f] and they profaned my holy name[g] 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,[h] which, the house of Israel defiled among the nations to which they went.[i]
