Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
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, Romans 2:24
These: Exodus 32:11-13, Numbers 14:15, Numbers 14:16, Joshua 7:9, 2 Kings 18:30, 2 Kings 18:35, 2 Kings 19:10-12, Jeremiah 33:24, Daniel 3:15

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they entered unto the Heathen, whither they went,.... When the Jews went into the Heathen countries, whither they were carried captive, either by the Chaldeans, or by the Romans:
they profaned my holy name; by their irreligion and immorality; by their violation of both tables of the law; by their wicked lives and conversations, whereby they gave the enemy an occasion to reproach them, their religion, and their God, Romans 2:24:
when they said to them, these are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land; these are the men that boast they are the people of the Lord, whom he has chosen above all people, and see what a wicked people they are; for their sins they are driven out of the land, and become our captives: or though they were the Lord's people, as they pretend, and were under his care and protection; yet he was not able to keep them in their own land, and deliver them out of our hands, but they are carried captive by us; and thus the name of God, his being and perfections, were blasphemed, and his word, worship, and worshippers, were ridiculed by them. The Targum is,
"if these are the people of the Lord, how is it that they are gone out of the land of the house of his majesty?''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The defilement of the people described in order to its removal.
Ezekiel 36:20
They profaned my holy name - Caused it to be dishonored by the pagan who said in scorn, âThis is the people of God.â The pagan, seeing the miserable state of the exiles, fancied that Yahweh was no more than a national god, powerless to protect his subjects.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 36:20. 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!
