Mine own

For my name's sake I will be patient. For my glory's sake I will hold my anger back from you, and not destroy you.

For how

What do I have here? Declares Jehovah. For my people have been taken away for nothing. Those who rule them mock, declares Jehovah. And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed.

But if you kill all these people at the same time the nations who have heard these reports about you will say,

I would have said: 'I will cut them to pieces. I will remove the memory of them from men.'

But I did not, since that would have brought dishonor to my name. In the presence of the people among whom they were living I had announced to Israel that I was going to lead them out of Egypt.

The name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, just as it is written. (Ezekiel 36:20, 21)

I will not

I predicted your future long ago. I announced events before they took place, to keep you from claiming that your idols and images made them happen.

I ALONE AM JEHOVAH. THAT IS MY NAME. I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY TO ANOTHER! I will not let idols share my praise.

All may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father that sent him.
