Ezekiel 44:4-8
English Standard Version
4 Then he brought me by way of (A)the north gate to the front of the temple, and I looked, and behold, (B)the glory of the Lord filled the temple of the Lord. And (C)I fell on my face. 5 And the Lord said to me, (D)“Son of man, mark well, (E)see with your eyes, (F)and hear with your ears all that I shall tell you concerning (G)all the statutes of the temple of the Lord and all its laws. And mark well (H)the entrance to the temple and all the exits from the sanctuary. 6 And say to (I)the rebellious house,[a] to the (J)house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: O house of Israel, (K)enough of all your abominations, 7 in (L)admitting foreigners, (M)uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, (N)profaning my temple, when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You[b] have broken my covenant, in addition to all your abominations. 8 And (O)you have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have set others to keep my charge for you in my sanctuary.

Ezekiel 44:4-8
New International Version
4 Then the man brought me by way of the north gate(A) to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the Lord filling the temple(B) of the Lord, and I fell facedown.(C)
5 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, look carefully, listen closely and give attention to everything I tell you concerning all the regulations and instructions regarding the temple of the Lord. Give attention to the entrance(D) to the temple and all the exits of the sanctuary.(E) 6 Say to rebellious Israel,(F) ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough of your detestable practices, people of Israel! 7 In addition to all your other detestable practices, you brought foreigners uncircumcised in heart(G) and flesh into my sanctuary, desecrating my temple while you offered me food, fat and blood, and you broke my covenant.(H) 8 Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.(I)
