¹⁴ Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

⁵ Now therefore, what do I here, saith Jehovah, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith Jehovah, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

⁶ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

⁷ Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

² You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.

²⁰ And when they came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and are gone forth out of his land.

²¹ But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went.

²² Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not `this' for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went.

²³ And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

³¹ If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;

³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

⁹ Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?
