Ezekiel 8:12-16
12“SonH1121 of manH120,” He saidH559 to meH413, “do you seeH7200 whatH834 the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are doingH6213 in the darknessH2822, eachH376 at the shrineH2315 of his own idolH4906? ForH3588 they are sayingH559, ‘The LORDH3068 does notH369 seeH7200 usH853; the LORDH3068 has forsakenH5800 the landH776.’”
13AgainH5750H7725, He toldH559 meH413, “You will seeH7200 themH1992 committingH6213 even greaterH1419 abominationsH8441.”
14Then He broughtH935 meH853 toH413 the entranceH6607 of the northH6828 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and I sawH2009 womenH802 sittingH3427 thereH8033, weepingH1058 for TammuzH8542.1
15“SonH1121 of manH120,” He saidH559 to meH413, “do you seeH7200 this? YetH5750H7725 you will seeH7200 even greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 than theseH428.”
16So He broughtH935 meH853 toH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and thereH2009 at the entranceH6607 to the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, betweenH996 the porticoH197 andH996 the altarH4196, were about twenty-fiveH6242H2568 menH376 with their backsH268 toH413 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and theyH1992 were bowing to the eastH6924 in worshipH7812 of the sunH8121.
