NASB
""But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, before whose sight I had brought them out."
— Ezekiel 20:14, NASB
“But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.”
“But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. ”
“But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.”
“I acted for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.”
“But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.”
“And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.”
“But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.”
"I gave them My statutes and informed them of My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live.
"Also I gave them My sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
"But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not walk in My statutes and they rejected My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; and My sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath on them in the wilderness, to annihilate them.
"But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, before whose sight I had brought them out.
"Also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,
because they rejected My ordinances, and as for My statutes, they did not walk in them; they even profaned My sabbaths, for their heart continually went after their idols.
"Yet My eye spared them rather than destroying them, and I did not cause their annihilation in the wilderness.
