Ezekiel 36:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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 woman in her menstrual period. 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.
