And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My (A)throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will (B)dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the [a](C)corpses of their kings [b]when they die, by putting their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have (D)defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. Now let them (E)remove their prostitution and the [c]corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will (F)dwell among them forever.

「人子啊,這裡是我的寶座,是我踏腳的地方,我要與以色列人永遠同住。以色列的君民必不再因不忠貞或在高處為他們死去的君王立碑而玷污我的聖名。 他們不再在我聖殿旁邊建廟宇,使它們的門檻和門柱緊挨著我的門檻和門柱,以致我與它們只有一牆之隔。他們曾經行可憎的事,玷污我的聖名,所以我發怒消滅他們。 現在,他們要停止祭拜偶像和他們死去的君王,我就永遠住在他們當中。

“Mortal man, here is my throne. I will live here among the people of Israel and rule them forever. Neither the people of Israel nor their kings will ever again disgrace my holy name by worshiping other gods or by burying the corpses of[a] their dead kings. The kings built the doorsills and doorposts of their palace right against the doorsills and doorposts of my Temple, so that there was only a wall between us. They disgraced my holy name by all the disgusting things they did, and so in my anger I destroyed them. Now they must stop worshiping other gods and remove the corpses of[b] their kings. If they do, I will live among them forever.”
