²² “Therefore, say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: It is not for your sake that I will act,^(A) house of Israel, but for my holy name,^(B) which you profaned among the nations where you went. ²³ I will honor the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. The nations will know that I am the Lord—this is the declaration of the Lord God—when I demonstrate my holiness through you in their sight.^(C)
