Ezekiel 39:7

will not letthem pollute will not let my holy name be profaned, lit. I will not profane. Jehovah's holy or divine name was profaned, his majesty and power were detracted from when Israel his people were subjected by the heathen and dispersed abroad from their own land (Ezekiel 36:20). Israel's sins constrained Jehovah to cast them out of his land, and thus to profane his holy name. Now they are another people, a new heart has been given them, and his signal protection of them in their defenceless condition (Ezekiel 38:11) from so extreme a danger (Ezekiel 38:4-6) will reveal both to Israel and the nations what Jehovah is, and what are the principles on which he rules his people (Ezekiel 39:23). Thus shall his name be sanctified he shall be known to be God alone, all powerful and righteous. While Isaiah says "Holy One of Israel," Ezek. says inIsrael, a usage which shews that the element "of Israel" forms no part of the conception of "holiness."
