20 But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, ^wthey profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of his land.’

21 But I had concern ^xfor my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.

22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: ^yIt is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, ^wwhich you have profaned among the nations to which you came.

7 “And ^jmy holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and ^kI will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And ^lthe nations shall know that I am ^mthe Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now ^mI will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on ⁿthe whole house of Israel, and ^oI will be jealous for my holy name.

7 and he said to me, ^q“Son of man, this is ^rthe place of my throne and ^sthe place of the soles of my feet, ^twhere I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more ^udefile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies¹ of their kings at their high places,²

8 by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with ^vonly a wall between me and them. They have ^wdefiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger.
