Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and My name is continually blasphemed every day.

Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of Your fame will speak, saying,

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.

I have said, I will dash them in pieces, I will bring to an end the memory of them from among men,

had I not feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, lest they should say, our hand is high; and Jehovah has not done all this.

But I acted for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Go, serve every one of you his idols, even hereafter, if you will not obey me. But profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

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

I even declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I proclaimed it to you, lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image and my molten image has commanded them.

I am Jehovah; that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.

that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.
