Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.

You have not kept charge of my holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.’

Instead of safeguarding my sacred rituals, you have hired foreigners to take charge of my sanctuary.

And you did not observe the responsibility of my sanctuary, but you appointed them as the keepers of my responsibility in my sanctuary for you.”

And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
