If you defile it, the land will vomit you out as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Now, hear the word of Adonai, O women, let your ear receive the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters wailing and everyone her neighbor a dirge.
Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men and you deprive your nation of children,’
“Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their deeds. Their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her niddah .
The land has become defiled, so I will punish its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
“For all these abominations were done by the men of the land who were before you, and the land became defiled.
For whoever does any of these detestable things, the souls that do them are to be cut off from the midst of their people.
“Now you are to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to dwell will not vomit you out.
For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers birth pains until now—
So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spew you out of My mouth.
