Ezekiel 44:5-7
New English Translation

5 The Lord said to me: “Son of man, pay attention,[a] watch closely, and listen carefully to[b] everything I tell you concerning all the statutes of the Lord’s house and all its laws. Pay attention to the entrances[c] to the temple with all the exits of the sanctuary. 6 Say to the rebellious,[d] to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough of all your abominable practices, O house of Israel! 7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate[e] it—even my house—when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You[f] have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices.
