Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - How should my Name be polluted? i.e. how should I allow of its pollution or desecration (see the comment on ver. 9)? I will not give my glory unto another (comp. Isaiah 42:8). God would have ceded his glory to some god of the nations, had he under existing circumstances forsaken Israel.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Will I do it . . .--The neuter pronoun includes the whole work of redemption.For how should my name be polluted?--The italics show that "my name" is not in the Hebrew, but the context requires its insertion as from Isaiah 48:9. or that of "my glory" from the clause that follows. The "pollution" or desecration of the name of Jehovah would follow, it is implied, on the non-completion of His redeeming work.
