Ezekiel 44:8-10
New English Translation
8 You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners[a] to keep charge of my sanctuary for you. 9 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigner who is uncircumcised in heart and flesh among all the foreigners who are among the people of Israel will enter into my sanctuary.[b]
10 “‘But the Levites who went far from me, straying off from me after their idols when Israel went astray, will be responsible for[c] their sin.
