And the house of Israel shall no more ^adefile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies¹ of their kings at their high places,² 8 by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them. They have defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoring and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
