And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? / Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
