You brought foreigners into my Temple who are not circumcised and have not given themselves to me.[a] In this way you made my Temple unclean. You broke our agreement and did terrible things, and then you gave me the offerings of bread, the fat, and the blood. But this only made my Temple unclean. You did not take care of my holy things. No, you let foreigners have responsibility of my holy place!’”
