EZEKIEL 20:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.”
Yet God withdrew His hand and acted for the sake of His name, preventing complete destruction despite the second generation's deserved judgment. The repeated pattern of threatened annihilation followed by forbearance establishes God's persistent willingness to preserve Israel despite covenant violation. The name-sake motivation continues to override God's wrath.
