("Listen to me, O islands, and pay attention, O nations... And He said to me: You are My servant, Israel, through whom I will be glorified" - Isaiah 49:3; and likewise: "The Torah was given only in order to sanctify His great name, as it is said: 'And He said to me: You are My servant, Israel, through whom I will be glorified.'" From here they said: A person should keep far from theft, whether from a Jew or from a gentile, and even from anyone in the marketplace, for one who steals from a gentile will eventually steal from a Jew, and one who robs a gentile will eventually rob a Jew" - Tanna Devei Eliyahu Rabbah 26; and likewise: "May the Lord give you a son who will illuminate the eyes of Israel, and through him will be fulfilled: 'Israel, through whom I will be glorified'" - Agnon / Tales of the Baal Shem Tov, His Father and Mother)
