Ezekiel 44:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² However, because they used to minister to them in front of their idols and thereby caused the house of Israel to fall into a state of sin, therefore, I have sworn an oath against them, says the Lord God, that they shall be punished for their iniquity. ¹³ They may never again be permitted to approach me in order to serve as priests, nor will they be allowed to come near any of my holy things or my most sacred offerings. Rather, they must bear the shame of their abominable deeds. ¹⁴ However, I will assign them the responsibility of service to the temple and for all the work that has to be done in it.
