Ezekiel 36:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I do not this, which I have done, sparing you and preserving you, and giving you favour in the sight of the heathen; nor do I that I am about to do for you, returning you to Judea, planting you, increasing you, and establishing you, and making you a blessing; I do not this for your sake, you deserve no such kindness from me. For mine holy name's sake; my infinite mercy is the spring and fountain; the vindicating my name from all imputation of weakness or unfaithfulness, and the magnifying the glory of my goodness, wisdom, truth, and power, are the reasons on which I do what I do for Israel. Which ye have profaned; brought under suspicion with the heathen, who think that the only and almighty God should do better for his own and only people!
