We see here the striking proof of Israel's rebellion, and the Lord's forbearance. Though Israel lost all sense of duty, the Lord will not lose showing all manifestations of His love. The name of Jehovah is interested in the salvation of His people, for the Lord will not suffer the enemy to triumph in the ruin of Israel. Sweet thought! the blood of Jesus pleads more powerfully for his people, than all their undeservings plead against them.

Ezekiel 20:8-9
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
