Ezekiel 36:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ I scattered them among the nations, and they were spread through the countries. I punished them for how they lived and what they did. ²⁰ They dishonored my holy name in the nations where they went. The nations said about them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, but they had to leave the land which he gave them.’ ²¹ But I had concern for my holy name, which the nation of Israel had dishonored among the nations where they went.
