14. therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more, says the Lord Yahweh;
15. neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more, says the Lord Yahweh.
16. Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
17. Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18. Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
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. When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Yahweh, and are gone out of his land.
21. But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
22. Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
