2 Chronicles 29:5-7

International Standard Version

“Pay attention to me, you descendants of Levi! Consecrate yourselves and the Temple of the Lord God of your ancestors by taking out from the Holy Place whatever is unclean. ⁶ Our ancestors have been unfaithful. They practiced what the Lord considers to be evil, abandoned him, turned their faces away from the place where the Lord resides, and turned their backs to him. ⁷ They shut the doors to the vestibule^[a] of the Temple,^[b] extinguished its lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel in the Holy Place.
