*
I scattered them among the nations ,
and they were dispersed through the countries ;
in accordance with their conduct and their deeds I judged them .
*
But when they came to the nations ,
wherever they came ,
they profaned my holy name ,
in that men said of them , `
These are the people of the LORD ,
and yet they had to go out of his land .'
*
But I had concern for my holy name ,
which the house of Israel caused to be profaned among the nations to which they came .
* "
Therefore say to the house of Israel ,
Thus says the Lord GOD :
It is not for your sake ,
O house of Israel ,
that I am about to act ,
but for the sake of my holy name ,
which you have profaned among the nations to which you came .
*
And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name ,
which has been profaned among the nations ,
and which you have profaned among them ;
and the nations will know that I am the LORD ,
says the Lord GOD ,
when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes .
