2 Chronicles 29:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ and said to them, “Hear me, Levites! Now ^(A)consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth^[a] from the Holy Place. ⁶ For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God. They have forsaken him and ^(B)have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord and turned their backs. ⁷ They also ^(C)shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the Holy Place to the God of Israel.
