Ezekiel 44:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who strayed from Me after their idols,^(A) will bear the consequences of their sin.^{(B) 11} Yet they will occupy My sanctuary, serving as guards at the temple gates^(C) and ministering at the temple. They will slaughter the burnt offerings^(D) and other sacrifices for the people and will stand before them to serve them.^{(E) 12} Because they ministered to the house of Israel before their idols and became a sinful stumbling block to them, therefore I swore an oath^[a] against them”^(F)—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“that they would bear the consequences of their sin.
