Ezekiel 36:15

13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’

14 therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.

I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”

16 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.

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.
