Then I heard Him speaking to me from the house, while a (A)man was standing beside me. And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My (B)throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will (C)dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the [a](D)corpses of their kings [b]when they die, by putting their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have (E)defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. Now let them (F)remove their prostitution and the [c]corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will (G)dwell among them forever.
