for the land is defiled. Therefore I am visiting its depravity upon it, and the land is vomiting out its inhabitants.

You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion. How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because they have thrown down our tents.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because they say to you, You devour men and bereave your nation,

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. To Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.

For we know that the whole creation groans and travails together until now.

So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
