Ezekiel 36:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

12 Upon you I will have them walk, my people Israel. They shall possess you, and you shall be their heritage. Never again shall you rob them of their children.

13 Thus says the Lord God: Because they say of you, “You devour your own people,[a] you rob your nation of its children,”(A) 14 therefore, you shall never again devour your people or rob your nation of its children—oracle of the Lord God.
