Ezekiel 44:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The Lord said to me, “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], pay attention. Use your eyes to see, and your ears to hear. See and hear everything I tell you about all the ·rules [statutes; ordinances; requirements] and ·teachings [laws; instructions] of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. Pay attention to the entrance to the Temple and to all the exits from the ·Temple area [sanctuary]. ⁶ Then speak to ·those who refuse to obey [the rebellious]. Say to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: ·Stop doing all [Enough of] your ·acts that I hate [detestable/abominable acts], [^Lhouse of] Israel! ⁷ You brought foreigners into my ·Holy Place [sanctuary] who were not circumcised in the flesh and ·had not given themselves to serving me [^Luncircumcised in the heart; Jer. 9:26; Acts 7:51]. You ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually] my ·Temple [^Lhouse] when you offered me food, fat, and blood. You broke my ·agreement [covenant; treaty] by all ·the things you did that I hate [your detestable/abominable acts].
