Ezekiel 36:20-23 GNB . . .Wherever they went, they brought disgrace on my holy name, because people would say, 'These are the people of the LORD (יהוה), but they had to leave his land.' (21) That made me concerned for my holy name, since the Israelites brought disgrace on it everywhere they went. (22) "Now then, give the Israelites the message that I, the Sovereign LORD (יהוה), have for them: What I am going to do is not for the sake of you Israelites, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have disgraced in every country where you have gone. (23) When I demonstrate to the nations the holiness of my great name---the name you disgraced among them---then they will know that I am the LORD (יהוה). I, the Sovereign LORD (יהוה), have spoken. I will use you to show the nations that I am holy.
Ezekiel 36:20-23 ESV . . .But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD (יהוה), and yet they had to go out of his land.' (21) But I had concern for 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: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. (23) And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the LORD (יהוה), declares the Lord GOD, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
Ezekiel 36:20-23 BBE . . .And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord (יהוה) who have gone out from his land. (21) But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went. (22) For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord (יהוה) has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went. (23) And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord (יהוה), says the Lord (יהוה), when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.
Ezekiel 36:20-23 GW . . .But wherever they went among the nations, they dishonored my holy name. People said about them, 'These are the LORD (יהוה)'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. (22) "So tell the people of Israel, 'This is what the Almighty LORD (יהוה) 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, the name that you have dishonored among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD (יהוה), because I will reveal my holiness among you as they watch, declares the Almighty LORD (יהוה).
