Ezekiel 48:11

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified
That are set apart by the Lord; called by him to this office, and sanctified with the gifts and graces of his Spirit; and so fitted and qualified for the work: of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which went not astray
when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray;
ministers faithful to the Lord in the worst of times; and who are and wil be taken notice of by him, both now and hereafter, ( Matthew 25:21 ) ( Revelation 3:10 ) , (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:15), (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:16).
