14 therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore,” says the Lord God.
15 a“Nor will I let you hear the taunts of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore,” says the Lord God.’ ”
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.’

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Ezekiel 36:16:
Ezekiel 36:16-18
This is a warning, I think, both to physical Israel and to the Israel of God, as the church is very plainly pointed out to be in Galatians 6:16. If we, who have taken (or bear) the name of God, use the name of God in any way that denies the true meaning, or character of God - we are either breaking the third commandment or coming awfully close to breaking it, or we are on our way to doing so. And it is interesting that the prophecies contain very much revelation along this line.
You can begin to see the context. Ezekiel is speaking to people who are in captivity, and he is telling them why they went into captivity.
