Ezekiel 36:16-21
1599 Geneva Bible
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 ways, and by their deeds: their way was before me as the filthiness of the menstruous.
18 Wherefore I poured my wrath upon them, for the blood that they had shed in the land, and for their idols, wherewith they had polluted it.
19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: for according to their ways, and according to their deeds, I judged them.
20 (A)And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they polluted mine holy Name, when they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone out of his land.
21 But I favored mine holy [a]Name, which the house of Israel had polluted among the heathen, whither they went.
