EZEKIEL 20:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.”
Nevertheless, God swore an oath in the wilderness that He would not destroy Israel, acting again for the sake of His name, preventing complete annihilation despite the people's deserved judgment. God's oath in the wilderness represents a formal recommitment to the covenant despite Israel's demonstrated unfaithfulness. The repetition of name-sake motivation emphasizes that God's decisions serve His ultimate self-vindication.
