Ezekiel 43:1-9

1Then he led me to the 1gate, the gate facing toward the east; 2and behold, the 2glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the 3east. And His 4voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth 5shone with His glory. 3And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the 6vision which I saw when 7He came to 8destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the 9river Chebar; and I 10fell on my face. 4And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the 11east. 5And the 12Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the 13glory of the Lord filled the house.

6Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a 14man was standing beside me. 7He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My 15throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will 16dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the 1718corpses of their kings 19when they die, 8by setting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have 20defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9Now let them 21put away their harlotry and the 22corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will 23dwell among them forever.
