The Renewal of Israel

16 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, athey defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like bthe uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity.  
18 Therefore I poured out My fury on them afor the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it.  
19 So I ascattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them baccording to their ways and their deeds.  
20 When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they aprofaned My holy name—when they said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land.’

Ezekiel 36:16-20

The defilement of the people described in order to its removal.

Ezekiel 36:20

They profaned my holy name - Caused it to be dishonored by the pagan who said in scorn, "This is the people of God." The pagan, seeing the miserable state of the exiles, fancied that Yahweh was no more than a national god, powerless to protect his subjects.
