And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

I will sanctify my great name - I will vindicate and manifest it as holy, in opposition to the pagan reproaches of it brought on by the Jews' sins, and their punishment (note, ).

The heathen shall know that I am the Lord ... when I shall be sanctified in you - i:e., in your case, in respect of you; when I shall be regarded in their eyes as the Holy One, and righteous in my dealings toward you (; ).
