Ezekiel 43:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ The kings ·made my name unclean [defiled my holy name; ^Critually] by putting their ·doorway [threshold] next to my ·doorway [threshold], and their doorpost next to my doorpost so only a wall separated me from them [^Ckings erected monuments to themselves around the temple]. When they did their ·acts that I hate [detestable/abominable acts], they ·made my holy name unclean [defiled my holy name; ^Critually], and so I ·destroyed [consumed] them in my anger. ⁹ Now let them stop their ·sexual sins [prostitution] and take the ·dead bodies [or funeral pillars; v. 7] of their kings far away from me. Then I will live among them forever.

¹⁰ “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], tell the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel about the ·Temple [^Lhouse] so they will be ashamed of their ·sins [iniquities]. Let them ·think about the plan of the Temple [study its plan; or consider its perfection].
