Ezekiel 36:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ But I had concern for my holy name, which the ·nation [^Lhouse] of Israel had ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] among the nations where they went.

²² “So say to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: [^Lhouse of] Israel, I am going to act, but not for your sake. I will do something to help my holy name, which you have ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] among the nations where you went. ²³ I will prove the holiness of my great name, which has been ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] among the nations. You have ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] it among these nations, but the nations will know that I am the Lord when I ·prove myself holy [vindicate my holiness] before their eyes, says the Lord God.
