Ezekiel 44:13

And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

Cross-reference

Ezekiel 16:52 uses the same 'bear your shame' phrase — a direct verbal echo, reinforcing the call to accept disgrace.

Ezekiel 32:24 also says they 'bear their shame' — the same expression for judgment on the wicked, echoing this verse.

Ezekiel 45:4 describes the holy land allotment for faithful priests who minister, contrasting with the restricted Levites in 44:13 who cannot approach.

Numbers 18:3 restricted Levites from approaching the sanctuary — a similar limitation is imposed here as punishment.

2 Kings 23:9 records demoted priests from high places not serving at the altar — a historical parallel to this restriction.
