Ezekiel 43

¹And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:

²And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

³And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

⁴And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

⁵And 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.

⁶And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

⁷And 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;

⁸By 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.

⁹Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

¹⁰You, 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.
