Therefore say unto the house of Yisrael, thus saith YY Elohim; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Yisrael, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
For the Kenaanim and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
