And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
I will sanctify my great name - I will vindicate and manifest it as holy, in opposition to the pagan reproaches of it brought on by the Jews' sins, and their punishment (note, Ezekiel 36:20).
The heathen shall know that I am the Lord ... when I shall be sanctified in you - i:e., in your case, in respect of you; when I shall be regarded in their eyes as the Holy One, and righteous in my dealings toward you (Ezekiel 20:41; Ezekiel 28:22).
