⁸ All who dwell on the earth will worship him, ^(A)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain ^(B)from the foundation of the world.

^7 (A)When you brought in ^(B)foreigners, ^(C)uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it—My house—and when you offered ^(D)My food, ^(E)the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations.
