16 What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we[a] are the temple of the living God, just as God said:

“I will live and walk among them.
    I will be their God,
        and they will be my people.”[b]

17 Therefore,

“Get away from them
    and separate yourselves from them,”
        declares the Lord,[c]
“and don’t touch anything unclean.
    Then I will welcome you.
18 I will be your Father,
    and you will be my sons and daughters,”
        declares the Lord[d] Almighty.[e]
