Ezekiel 44:11-13

English Standard Version

¹¹ They shall be ^(A)ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight ^(B)at the gates of the temple and ministering in the temple. They shall slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and ^(C)they shall stand before the people, to minister to them. ¹² Because they ministered to them before their idols and became ^(D)a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have ^(E)sworn concerning them, declares the Lord God, and they shall bear their punishment. ¹³ They ^(F)shall not come near to me, to serve me as priest, nor come near any of my holy things and the things that are most holy, but ^(G)they shall bear their shame and the abominations that they have committed.
