Ezekiel 44:7-9
New English Translation

7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate[a] it—even my house—when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You[b] have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices. 8 You have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have assigned foreigners[c] 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.[d]
