Ezekiel 8

1And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345monthH2320, in the fifthdayof the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in my houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 before me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 Jehovah fellH5307 there upon me. 2Then I beheld, and, lo, a likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784; from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 and downwardH4295, fireH784; and from his loinsH4975 and upwardH4605, as the appearanceH4758 of brightness, as it were glowing metal. 3And he put forthH7971 the formH8403 of a handH3027, and tookH3947 me by a lock of my headH7218; and the SpiritH7307 liftedH5375 me up between earthH776 and heavenH8064, and broughtH935 me in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389, to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the innerH6442 court that looketh toward the northH6828; whereH834 was the seatH4186 of the image of jealousyH7068, which provoketh to jealousyH7068. 4And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the appearanceH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237.

5Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, liftH5375 up thine eyesH5869 now the wayH1870 toward the northH6828. So I liftedH5375 up mine eyesH5869 the wayH1870 toward the northH6828, and behold, northward of the gateH8179 of the altarH4196 this image of jealousyH7068 in the entry. 6And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, seest thou what they do? even the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 do commit hereH6311, that I should goH7725 farH7368 off from my sanctuaryH4720? But thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yetH5750 other greatH1419 abominationsH8441.

7And he broughtH935 me to the doorH6607 of the courtH2691; and when I lookedH7200, behold, a holeH2356 in the wallH7023. 8Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, digH2864 now in the wallH7023: and when I had digged in the wallH7023, behold, a doorH6607. 9And he saidH559 unto me, GoH935 in, and seeH7200 the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they do hereH6311. 10So I wentH935 in and sawH7200; and behold, every formH8403 of creepingH7431 things, and abominable beasts, and all the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, portrayed upon the wallH7023 roundH5439 about. 11And there stoodH5975 before them seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and in the midstH8432 of them stoodH5975 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, every manH376 with his censerH4730 in his handH3027; and the odor of the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 wentH5927 up. 12Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH376, hast thou seenH7200 what the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 do in the dark, every manH376 in his chambersH2315 of imagery? for they sayH559, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the landH776. 13He saidH559 also unto me, Thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yetH5750 other greatH1419 abominationsH8441 which they do.

14Then he broughtH935 me to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of Jehovah’s houseH1004 which was toward the northH6828; and behold, there satH3427 the womenH802 weepingH1058 for Tammuz. 15Then saidH559 he unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yetH5750 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 than these.

16And he broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of Jehovah’s houseH1004; and behold, at the doorH6607 of the temple of Jehovah, between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 toward the temple of Jehovah, and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and they were worshipping the sunH8121 toward the eastH6924. 17Then he saidH559 unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a light thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commit the abominationsH8441 which they commit hereH6311? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have turnedH7725 again to provokeH3707 me to angerH639: and, lo, they put the branchH2156 to their noseH639. 18Therefore will I alsoH1571 deal in wrathH2534; mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2550, neither will I have pityH2347; and though they cry in mine earsH241 with a loud voiceH6963, yet will I not hearH8085 them.
