18Wherefore I powred my furie vpon them for the blood that they had shed vpon the land, and for their idoles wherewith they had polluted it. 19And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countreys: according to their way and according to their doings I iudged them. 20And when they entred vnto the heathen whither they went, they prophaned my holy Name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. 21¶ But I had pitie for mine holy Name, which the house of Israel had prophaned among the heathen, whither they went. 22Therefore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, I doe not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy Names sake, which ye haue prophaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
