Mine own

“For the sake of My Name I refrain from My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain Myself from you,
So that I do not cut you off.

For how

But now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason? Those who rule over them howl [with taunting and mockery of salvation],” declares the Lord, “and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.

Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations (Gentiles) that have heard of Your fame will say,

‘I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces [scattering them far away],
I will remove the memory of them from men,”

But I acted for My Name’s sake, that it would not be profaned in the sight of the [pagan] nations among whom they lived, in whose sight I made Myself known to them by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

For, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written [in Scripture].

I will not

I have declared them to you long ago;
Before they came to pass I announced them to you,
So that you could not say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my cast image have commanded them.’

“I am the Lord, that is My Name;
My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved idols.

so that all will give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] the one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.
