Ezekiel 11:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Therefore say: Thus says the Lord God: Although I removed them far away among the nations and scattered them over the earth, I have nevertheless been a sanctuary to them for a time in the countries where they settled.

¹⁷ Therefore say: Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the nations and bring you together from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

¹⁸ When they return there, they will purge it of all its vile and abominable practices.
