For the honor of your name, do not treat Jerusalem with contempt. Do not treat with disdain the place where your glorious throne sits. Be mindful of your covenant with us. Do not break it!

For the sake of my reputation I hold back my anger; for the sake of my prestige I restrain myself from destroying you.Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.For my sake alone I will act, for how can I allow my name to be defiled?
