Romans 2:24

  1. As it is written, FOR IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT GOD'S NAME IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES.


Ezekiel 36:20-23 (Yehezkiel 36:20-23)

  1. "When they came to the Nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name. For it was said of them, 'These are the LORD's people, and yet they had to go out of His land.'


  2. But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel profanes, being among the Nations where they have gone.


  3. Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the LORD God says, "It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do this, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the Nations where you went.


  4. I will set apart as holy My great name, which has been profaned among the Nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the Gentiles will know that I am the LORD," declares the LORD God, "when I am set apart as holy through you before their eyes."


Isaiah 52:5 (Yeshe'yahu 52:5)

  1. "Now, therefore, what should I do here?" says the LORD, "seeing that My people have been carried away without cause."
    "Those who rule over them howl," says the LORD, "and My name is continually blasphemed every day."
