And now why are you here? Thus says the Lord: Because My people were taken for nothing, wonder and howl. Thus says the Lord: On account of you My name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.

And [if] You shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard Your name shall speak, saying,

Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which He swore to them, He has overthrown them in the wilderness.

I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.

Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own outstretched arm, and not the Lord's, has done all these things.

But I acted [so] that My name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, among whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

And [as for] you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord: Put away each one his [evil] practices, and hereafter if you hearken to Me, then shall you no more profane My holy name by your gifts and by devices.

For "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you," just as it is written.

And I told you of old what [would be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.

I am the Lord God; that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, nor My praises to graven images.

so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
