Ezekiel 44:6-8
New English Translation
6 Say to the rebellious,[a] to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough of all your abominable practices, O house of Israel! 7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate[b] it—even my house—when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You[c] have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices. 8 You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners[d] to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.
