Ezekiel 44:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 They will serve in my sanctuary only as gatekeepers and temple servants; they will slaughter burnt offerings and sacrifices for the people. They will stand before the people to serve them.(A) 12 Because they used to serve them before their idols, thus becoming a stumbling block to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn an oath against them, says the Lord God, and they will bear the consequences of their sin. 13 They shall no longer come near to serve as my priests, nor shall they touch any of my sacred things or my most sacred offerings, for they must bear their shame, the abominations they committed.

Ezekiel 44:11-13
New International Version
11 They may serve in my sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and serving in it; they may slaughter the burnt offerings(A) and sacrifices for the people and stand before the people and serve them.(B) 12 But because they served them in the presence of their idols and made the people of Israel fall(C) into sin, therefore I have sworn with uplifted hand(D) that they must bear the consequences of their sin, declares the Sovereign Lord.(E) 13 They are not to come near to serve me as priests or come near any of my holy things or my most holy offerings; they must bear the shame(F) of their detestable practices.(G)
