¹⁴ But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, ^(A)in whose sight I had brought them out.

⁴⁴ And you shall know that I am the Lord, ^(A)when I deal with you for my name's sake, ^(B)not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord God.”

²¹ But I had concern ^(A)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: ^(B)It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, ^(C)which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. ^23 (D)And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. ^(E)And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
