7And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no longer defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the corpses of their kings on their high places.”

8When they set their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only the wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by the abominations that they committed; so I consumed them in my anger.

9Now let them put far from me their prostitution and the corpses of their kings, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
