Ezechiel 44:7
In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- eo quod inducitis filios alienos incircumcisos corde, et incircumcisos carne, ut sint in sanctuario meo, et polluant domum meam : et offertis panes meos, adipem et sanguinem, et dissolvitis pactum meum in omnibus sceleribus vestris.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν ὑμᾶς υἱοὺς ἀλλογενεῖς ἀπεριτμήτους καρδίᾳ καὶ ἀπεριτμήτους σαρκί, τοῦ γίνεσθαι ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις μου· καὶ ἐβεβήλουν αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ προσφέρειν ὑμᾶς ἄρτους σάρκας καὶ αἷμα, καὶ παρεβαίνετε τὴν διαθήκην μου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις ὑμῶν,
- Hebrew (WLC)
- בַּהֲבִיאֲכֶ֣ם בְּנֵֽי נֵכָ֗ר עַרְלֵי לֵב֙ וְעַרְלֵ֣י בָשָׂ֔ר לִהְי֥וֹת בְּמִקְדָּשִׁ֖י לְחַלְּל֣וֹ אֶת בֵּיתִ֑י בְּהַקְרִֽיבְכֶ֤ם אֶת לַחְמִי֙ חֵ֣לֶב וָדָ֔ם וַיָּפֵ֨רוּ֙ אֶת בְּרִיתִ֔י אֶ֖ל כָּל תּוֹעֲבוֹתֵיכֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Flesh. People of this description were not to enter the temple, which is here called the sanctuary, even though they adored God. In some cases pagans were admitted into any part, except the most holy. Epiphanes (Calmet) and Pompey forced their passage thither, to the great sorrow of the Jews. (Josephus, Jewish Wars i. 5.) See Ecclesiasticus lii., and Acts xxi. 28.
During the plundering of the city, the Chaldeans did the like; (Lamentations i. 10.; Haydock) and while idols were set up, all rules were neglected.
Doings. You observe the exterior, and not the spirit of religion.
