Ezekiel 36:21-23

The Voice

²¹ I became concerned for My sacred name, for everywhere they went the people of Israel were giving Me a bad name.

²² Consequently, tell the people of Israel that the Eternal Lord says, “When I act, people of Israel, it won’t be for your own good, but for the sake of salvaging My own reputation, which you have slandered in front of those outside our covenant.^{[a] 23} I will restore My great name to its holy state which has been desecrated in every nation by you! After all these things come to pass and I reveal My holiness through you right before their eyes, then these nations will know that I am the Eternal.
