Ezekiel 44:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ Yet they will occupy my sanctuary, serving as guards at the temple gates^(A) and ministering at the temple. They will slaughter the burnt offerings^(B) and other sacrifices for the people and will stand before them to serve them.^{(C) 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”^(D)—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity. ¹³ They must not approach me to serve me as priests^(E) 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.
