20. And when they came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land.
21. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went.
22. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went.
23. And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord GOD when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24. For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
