Deuteronomy 32:26-27
26 aI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;bI will wipe them from human memory,”
27had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, c“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
Psalms 106:6-8
6 dBoth we and eour fathers have sinned;we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they fdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but grebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them hfor his name’s sake,
ithat he might make known his mighty power.
Ezekiel 20:9
9 jBut I acted kfor the sake of my name, lthat it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, min whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.Ezekiel 36:22-23
I Will Put My Spirit Within You
22“Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: nIt is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, owhich you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 pAnd I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. qAnd the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.Joel 2:17
17 rBetween the svestibule and the taltarulet the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations. ▼
▼Or reproach, that the nations should rule over them
wWhy should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
John 12:28
