Ezekiel 44:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Say to the rebellious house,^[a] to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: O house of Israel, let there be an end to all your abominations ⁷ in admitting foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, profaning my temple when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You^[b] have broken my covenant with all your abominations. ⁸ And you have not kept charge of my sacred offerings; but you have appointed foreigners^[c] to act for you in keeping my charge in my sanctuary.
