Ezekiel 43 — Context

4

And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

5

And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

6

And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

7

And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;

8

By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

9

Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

10

You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.
