Ezekiel 39:22-24

Living Bible

²² And from that time onward the people of Israel will know I am the Lord their God. ²³ And the nations will know why Israel was sent away to exile—it was punishment for sin, for they acted in treachery against their God. Therefore, I turned my face away from them and let their enemies destroy them. ²⁴ I turned my face away and punished them in proportion to the vileness of their sins.
