Ezekiel 43:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house,[a] and a man was standing beside me. 7 And he said to me, “Son of man,[b] this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet where I will dwell[c] in the midst of the Israelites[d] to eternity, and they, the house of Israel, they and their kings, will not again defile my holy name[e] with their fornication and with their offerings for the dead[f] of their kings on their high places. 8 When they placed their threshold[g] with[h] my threshold, their doorframe beside my doorframe and the[i] wall was between me and between them, then they defiled my holy name,[j] with their detestable things that they did, and so I consumed them in my anger.

Ezekiel 43:6-8
New International Version
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 7 He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne(A) and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile(B) my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[a] for their kings at their death.[b](C) 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger.
