14 But I acted vfor the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
22 But I withheld my hand and acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
20 But xwhen they came to the nations, wherever they came, they yprofaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of his land.’ 21 But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.
I Will Put My Spirit Within You
22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: zIt is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but afor the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 And I will bvindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness cbefore their eyes.
24 For, as it is written, i“The name of God is blasphemed jamong the Gentiles because of you.”
