Ezekiel 44:9-15

[9] Thus saith  the Lord  No stranger,  uncircumcised  in heart,  nor uncircumcised  in flesh,  shall enter  into my sanctuary,  of any stranger that is among  the children  of Israel.  [10] And the Levites  that are gone away far  from me, when Israel  went astray,  from me after  their idols;  they shall even bear  their iniquity.  [11] 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  [12] 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.  [13] 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,  place: but they shall bear  their shame,  and their abominations  which they have committed.  [14] 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. [15] But the priests  the Levites,  the sons  of Zadok,  that kept  the charge  of my sanctuary  when the children  of Israel  went astray  from me, they shall come near  to me to minister  unto me, and they shall stand  before  me to offer  unto me the fat  and the blood,  saith  the Lord  GOD:
