Clarke's Ezekiel 36:20 Bible Commentary
And when they entered unto the heathen - So bad were they, and so deeply fallen, that they profaned the Lord's name among the heathen; and, on their account, the true God was blasphemed. These, say they, are the people of Jehovah! O what an abominable people are these! and what a being must that God be who can have and own such for his people!
Barnes's Ezekiel 36:20 Bible Commentary
