Ezekiel 43:6-12
World English Bible
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me. 7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places; 8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
10 “You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 11 If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

New American Standard Bible
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the house, while a (A)man was standing beside me. 7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My (B)throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will (C)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](D)corpses of their kings [b]when they die, 8 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 (E)defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them (F)remove their prostitution and the [c]corpses of their kings far from Me, and I will (G)dwell among them forever.
10 “As for you, son of man, (H)inform the house of Israel of the [d]temple, so that they will be (I)ashamed of their wrongdoings; and have them measure the [e](J)plan. 11 And if they are ashamed of everything that they have done, make known to them the plan of the house, its layout, its (K)exits, its entrances, all its plans, all its [f]statutes, and all its laws. And write it (L)in their sight, so that they may observe its entire plan and all its statutes and (M)execute them. 12 This is the [g]law of the house: its entire [h]area on the top of the (N)mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the [i]law of the house.
