Israel's Sin and God's Holy Name

16

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

17

`Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, As the uncleanness of a separated one hath their way been before Me.

18

And I do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that they shed on the land, And with their idols they have defiled it.

19

And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.

20

And one goeth in unto the nations whither they have gone, And they pollute My holy name by saying to them, The people of Jehovah are these, And from His land they have gone forth.

21

And I have pity on My holy name, That the house of Israel have polluted among nations whither they have gone in.

22

Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But--for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations whither ye have gone in.

23

And I have sanctified My great name, That is profaned among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I am Jehovah, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
