Ezekiel 36:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ And when they came to the nations to which they went, they profaned My holy name in that men said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go forth out of His land.

²¹ But I had regard, concern, and compassion for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they went.

²² Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations to which you went.
