Gdy położyli próg swój wedle progu mego, a odrzwia swe wedle odrzwia mego, a ścianę miedzy mną i miedzy sobą; poszpecili imię święte moje obrzydłościami swoimi, które czynili i wytraciłem je w gniewie moim.
przez to, że budowali swe domy zbyt blisko moich progów i ustawiali swoje odrzwia zbyt blisko moich odrzwi, tak że tylko ściany oddzielały Mnie od nich. Kalali moje święte imię przez popełnianie obrzydliwości, tak że w końcu pochłonąłem ich w moim gniewie.
Bo stawiali ich próg przy Moim progu i ich podwoje obok Moich podwojów; tak, że między Mną a nimi, był tylko mur. Więc kazili Me święte Imię swoimi obmierzłościami, których się dopuszczali; i zgładziłem ich w Moim gniewie.
Gdy kładli próg swój podle progu mego, a podwoje swoje podle podwoi moich, a ścianę między mną i między sobą; a tak splugawiali imię świętobliwości mojej obrzydliwościami swemi, które czynili, przetożem ich zniszczył w popędliwości mojej.
Gdy kładli swój próg obok mojego progu, swoje odrzwia obok moich odrzwi i ścianę między mną a sobą, zbezcześcili bardzo moje święte imię przez swoje obrzydliwości, które popełniali. Dlatego zniszczyłem ich w swoim gniewie.
Gdyż kładli swoje progi obok moich progów i stawiali swoje odrzwia obok moich odrzwi, zostawiając tylko mur między mną a sobą. I bezcześcili święte imię moje przez ohydne swoje czyny, których się dopuszczali, tak że zniszczyłem ich w moim gniewie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
In their setting of their threshold by my threshold,.... The threshold is the way of entrance into the house; when men open any other way of entrance into the house of God than he has directed, it is setting up their threshold by his: the Gospel way of entrance into the church of Christ is Christ himself, and faith in him, and a profession of it, and submission to the ordinance of baptism, John 10:1 Acts 2:41 but when men make carnal descent, religious education, mere morality and civility, the way of entrance into church communion; this is opposite to God's way, and is resented by him; this shall not be hereafter:
and their post by my post; which is done when the ordinances of men are substituted in the room of the ordinances of God, or set upon a level with them; when the ordinances of God are changed and altered, or that brought into his worship which he has not commanded; and the commandments of men are taught for the doctrines of God: so the Pharisees set up the traditions of the elders as equal to the written word, and, made it of no effect by them; as the Papists do, by setting up their traditions, under the name of the traditions of the apostles, and of the church, upon a level with the Scriptures; and the same is done when men set up their own doctrines, concerning the Persons in the Godhead, concerning the power and purity of human nature, and the way of redemption; and oppose their own works to the grace of God, in justification, pardon, and salvation; the allusion is to the setting up of altars and idols in the house of the Lord, by his altar, 2 Kings 21:4:
and the wall between me and them; that these sins and abominable practices were a wall of separation between God and them, and caused him to hide himself from them, withdraw his presence, and deny them communion with him, Isaiah 49:2, some render it, "for" or "so that there was but a wall between me and them" s; so near were their thresholds, posts, and altars, to his:
they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: by their false doctrines, idolatrous worship, and immoral lives; such abominations as before mentioned:
wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger; as the Jews are now, and all the antichristian states will be.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He said - i. e., God âsaid.â Both the Septuagint and the Vulgate break this verse into two, so as to make the first half the solemn words of dedication. place a full stop after âforever;â the words mark the distinction between the new and the former sanctuary.
The palace of Solomon abutted upon the southern side of the embankment of the temple-platform; there was but âa wall between Yahweh and them.â When the kings gave themselves up to idolatry, this vicinity was to the temple a pollution and defilement. Thus it has been conjectured that âthe garden of Uzzaâ in which Manasseh and Amon were buried 2Ki 21:18, 2 Kings 21:26, and on which now stands the mosque of Omar, was on the temple area itself; if so, this would explain the mention of âhigh placesâ in connection with the defilement by the âcarcases of kings,â since the platform of the mosque of Omar at the time of Ezekiel rose to a considerable height above the temple.
Besides this, idolatrous kings of Judah did actually introduce their idolatries into the temple courts themselves (compare 2 Kings 16:11; 2 Kings 21:4).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 43:8. In their setting of their threshold — They had even gone so far as to set up their idol altars by those of Jehovah; so that their abominable idols were found in the very house of God! therefore, "he consumed them in his anger."
