Ezekiel 36:20-23

English Standard Version

²⁰But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, ^(A)they profaned 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.’ ²¹But I had concern ^(B)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: ^(C)It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, ^(D)which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. ²³^(E)And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. ^(F)And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
