“For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.”
The divine affirmation 'For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another' reasserts that God's restoration of Israel serves divine honor rather than human achievement. The repetition ('for my own sake, for my own sake') emphasizes the intensity of divine commitment to own name. This verse prevents any confusion: Israel is saved because God's reputation demands it, not because Israel deserves it. Sovereign grace emerges from divine self-affirmation.
