Yahweh’s Name Profaned Among the Nations
16 Then the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they (A)defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like (B)the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity. 18 Therefore I (C)poured out My wrath on them for the blood which they had shed on the land, because they had defiled it with their idols. 19 Also I (D)scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the lands. (E)According to their ways and their deeds I judged them. 20 Then they came to the nations to which they came. And they (F)profaned My holy name because it was said of them, ‘These are the (G)people of Yahweh; yet they have come out of His land.’ 21 But I [a]had concern for My (H)holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

New Living Translation
16 Then this further message came to me from the Lord: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by the evil way they lived. To me their conduct was as unclean as a woman’s menstrual cloth. 18 They polluted the land with murder and the worship of idols,[a] so I poured out my fury on them. 19 I scattered them to many lands to punish them for the evil way they had lived. 20 But when they were scattered among the nations, they brought shame on my holy name. For the nations said, ‘These are the people of the Lord, but he couldn’t keep them safe in his own land!’ 21 Then I was concerned for my holy name, on which my people brought shame among the nations.
