Ezekiel 36:17

A New Heart and a New Spirit

16Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,17“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.18So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
