Ezekiel 8:12-16

12Then he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each in his room of pictures? For they say, 'The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.'"

13He said also to me, "You will see still greater abominations that they commit."

14Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? You will see still greater abominations than these."

16And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the east.
