Ezekiel 36:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 But I favored mine holy [a]Name, which the house of Israel had polluted among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine [b]holy Name’s sake, which ye polluted among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great Name, which was polluted among the heathen, among whom you have polluted it, and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before [c]their eyes.

New International Version
21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.(A)
22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,(B) which you have profaned(C) among the nations where you have gone.(D) 23 I will show the holiness of my great name,(E) which has been profaned(F) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,(G) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy(H) through you before their eyes.(I)
