Ezekiel 36:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ And I exiled them to many lands; that is how I punished them for the evil way they lived. ²⁰ But when they were scattered out among the nations, then they were a blight upon my holy name because the nations said, ‘These are the people of God and he couldn’t protect them from harm!’ ²¹ I am concerned about my reputation that was ruined by my people throughout the world.
