Ezekiel 36:19-21

New English Translation

¹⁹ I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed throughout foreign countries. In accordance with their behavior and their deeds I judged them. ²⁰ But when they arrived in the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name. It was said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, yet they have departed from his land.’ ²¹ I was concerned for my holy reputation,^[a] which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they went.
