Ezekiel 44:5-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. The Lord said to me: Son of man, pay close attention, look carefully, and listen intently to everything I tell you about all the statutes and laws of the Lord’s house. Pay close attention to the entrance into the temple and all the exits of the sanctuary.

6. Say to that rebellious house, the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Enough of all your abominations, house of Israel!

7. You have admitted foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, into my sanctuary to profane it when you offered me food, the fat and blood. Thus you have broken my covenant by all your abominations.

8. Instead of caring for the service of my sanctuary, you appointed these foreigners to care for the service of my sanctuary.

9. Thus says the Lord God: No foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, shall ever enter my sanctuary: not even any of the foreigners who live among the Israelites.
