Ezekiel 44:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 But[a] the Levites who removed themselves from me at the going astray of Israel,[b] who went astray from me and went after their idols, as a result they will bear their guilt. 11 Then they will be[c] in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries[d] at the gates of the temple[e] and as those serving the temple;[f] they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them[g] to serve them, 12 because[h] they used to serve them before[i] their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore[j] concerning them,” declares[k] the Lord Yahweh, “that they will bear their iniquity.
