Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 36:20

_ _ profaned my holy name, when they — the heathen

_ _ said to them — the Israelites.

_ _ These, etc. — The Israelites gave a handle of reproach to the heathen against God, who would naturally say, These who take usury, oppress, commit adultery, etc., and who, in such an abject plight, are “gone forth” as exiles “out of His land,” are specimens of what Jehovah can or will effect, for His people, and show what kind of a God this so-called holy, omnipotent, covenant-keeping God must be! (Isaiah 52:5; Romans 2:24).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 36:16-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 36:20

Entered — When they were come into Babylon. Profaned — They sinned. They — Their heathen neighbours. Them — The profane Jews. These — These profane slaves, call themselves the people of the Lord and say, he gave them the land out of which they are driven.

Cross-Reference Topical ResearchStrong's Concordance
they profaned:
The Jews, when thus scattered, appeared to them an abject and wretched company of people. They were recognized as the worshippers of Jehovah wherever they went; but they were looked upon as a viler and more worthless race than any of the idolaters among whom they were driven. Many would ascribe their wickedness to the tendency of their religion, which they abhorred, and not to their having acted inconsistently with it; and regard their miseries, not as the punishment of their sins, but as proofs of God's inability to protect them. This profanation of his holy name, Jehovah was determined to wipe away, by shewing mercy unto them.
Isaiah 52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day [is] blasphemed.

Numbers 14:15-16 Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, ... Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

2 Kings 19:10-12 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. ... Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which [were] in Thelasar?
Jeremiah 33:24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Daniel 3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
