¹⁴ only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'

²⁴ for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

⁵ And now, what -- to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling, -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

²² Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But -- for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations whither ye have gone in.

²³ And I have sanctified My great name, That is profaned among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I `am' Jehovah, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.

¹² O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

³¹ If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

³² I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

³³ And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

¹⁰ Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

⁹ And I say, `Not good `is' the thing that ye are doing; in the fear of our God do ye not walk, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?
