Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD, that my people are taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail, says the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to give unto them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, and lest they should say, Our hand has triumphed, and the LORD has not done all this.

But I acted for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD; Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not hearken unto me: but defile my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

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

I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed 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 the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father who has sent him.
