18 »Therefore I poured out my fury on them because they poured out blood on the land and they dishonored the land with their idols.
19 »I forced them into other nations. They became scattered among the nations. I judged them based on the way that they lived and based on everything that they had done.
20 »Wherever they went among the nations, they dishonored my holy name. People said about them: ‘These are Jehovah’s people, yet they had to leave his land.’
21 »I became concerned about my holy name because my people dishonored it among the nations wherever they went.« (Romans 2:21-24)
22 »So tell the people of Israel, ‘the Lord Jehovah says: »I am about to do something, people of Israel. I will not do this for your sake but for the sake of my holy name, which you have dishonored among the nations wherever you have gone.«’
23 »I will reveal the holiness of my great name, which has been dishonored by the nations. It is the name that you have dishonored among them. Then the nations will know that I am Jehovah. This is because I will reveal my holiness among you as they watch,’ declares the Lord Jehovah.
