Leviticus 18:26

24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
