The Name of God in the Holy Scriptures: Prophet Ezekiel

And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy Name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land. But I spared them for the sake of my holy Name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went. Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy Name, which ye have profaned among the nations, among whom ye went. And I will sanctify my great Name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.

Ezekiel, 36:20-23
