Ezekiel 44:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² Because they ministered to the house of Israel before their idols and became a sinful stumbling block to them, therefore I swore an oath^[a] against them”^(A)—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“that they would bear the consequences of their sin. ¹³ They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests^(B) or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear their disgrace and the consequences of the detestable acts they committed. ¹⁴ Yet I will make them responsible for the duties of the temple^(C)—for all its work and everything done in it.
