Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 36:21

"But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went." — Ezekiel 36:21 (ASV)

But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

If the Lord could see no ground of mercy in them, yet, so full of mercy is he, that he would find a reason for exercising pity for his own name's sake. If lovingkindness cannot come to them by any other means, then it shall come for God's name's sake.

But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went.

He had pity for his own name. He had a reverence and esteem for his own renown and standing, even among these heathen nations.
