Ezekiel:44:10-14

*
And the Levites that are gone away far from me ,
when Israel went astray ,
which went astray away from me after their idols ;
they shall even bear their iniquity .
*
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary ,
having charge at the gates of the house ,
and ministering to the house :
they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people ,
and they shall stand before them to minister unto them .
*
Because they ministered unto them before their idols ,
and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity ;
therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
and they shall bear their iniquity .
*
And they shall not come near unto me ,
to do the office of a priest unto me ,
nor to come near to any of my holy things ,
in the most holy place :
but they shall bear their shame ,
and their abominations which they have committed .
*
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house ,
for all the service thereof ,
and for all that shall be done therein .
