Ezekiel 36:21

"When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and have left his land.’"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights how Israel's reputation suffered among Gentile nations due to their actions, causing others to mock their divine identity and covenant relationship with God. It underscores the importance of maintaining a righteous witness that honors God’s holy name even in foreign lands.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I had pity for mine holy name -Render it: I “had” a pitiful regard to “Mine Holy Name.”
