New American Standard Bible
4 Then He brought me by way of the (A)north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the (B)glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I (C)fell on my face. 5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, [a](D)pay attention, see with your eyes and hear with your ears everything that I say to you concerning all the (E)statutes of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and [b]pay attention to the entrance of the house, with all the exits of the sanctuary. 6 You shall say to the [c](F)rebellious ones, to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord [d]God says: “(G)Enough of all your abominations, house of Israel, 7 when you brought in (H)foreigners, (I)uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to profane it, My house, when you (J)offered My food, the fat, and the blood and they (K)broke My covenant—this in addition to all your abominations. 8 And you have not [e](L)taken responsibility for My holy things yourselves, but you have appointed foreigners [f]to take responsibility for My sanctuary.”

Ezekiel 44:4-8
New Living Translation
4 Then the man brought me through the north gateway to the front of the Temple. I looked and saw that the glory of the Lord filled the Temple of the Lord, and I fell face down on the ground.
5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, take careful notice. Use your eyes and ears, and listen to everything I tell you about the regulations concerning the Lord’s Temple. Take careful note of the procedures for using the Temple’s entrances and exits. 6 And give these rebels, the people of Israel, this message from the Sovereign Lord: O people of Israel, enough of your detestable sins! 7 You have brought uncircumcised foreigners into my sanctuary—people who have no heart for God. In this way, you defiled my Temple even as you offered me my food, the fat and blood of sacrifices. In addition to all your other detestable sins, you have broken my covenant. 8 Instead of safeguarding my sacred rituals, you have hired foreigners to take charge of my sanctuary.

King James Version
4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
