¹¹ Yet they shall be ^(A)ministers in My sanctuary, having ^(B)oversight at the gates of the house and ^(C)ministering in the house; they shall ^(D)slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall ^(E)stand before them to minister to them. ¹² Because they ministered to them ^(F)before their idols and became a ^(G)stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have ^[a](H)sworn against them,” declares Lord Yahweh, “that they shall ^(I)bear the punishment for their iniquity. ¹³ And they shall ^(J)not approach Me to minister as a priest to Me, nor approach any of My holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will ^(K)bear their dishonor and their abominations which they have done.
