And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.
