Ezekiel 8:7-18
7Then He broughtH935 me to the entranceH6607 of the courtH2691, and when I lookedH7200, beholdH2009, a holeH2356 in the wallH7023. 8He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, nowH4994 1digH2864 through the wallH7023.” So I dugH2864 through the wallH7023, and beholdH2009, an entranceH6607. 9And He saidH559 to me, “GoH935 in and seeH7200 the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they are committingH6213 hereH6311.” 10So I enteredH935 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, everyH3605 formH8403 of creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and beastsH929 and detestableH8263 thingsH8263, with allH3605 the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, were carvedH2707 on the wallH7023 allH5439 aroundH5439. 11StandingH5975 in frontH6440 of them were 2seventyH7657 3eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, with JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 standingH5975 amongH8432 them, eachH376 manH376 with his 4censerH4730 in his handH3027 and the fragranceH6282 of the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 risingH5927. 12Then He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, do you seeH7200 whatH834 the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are committingH6213 in the darkH2822, eachH376 manH376 in the roomH2315 of his carvedH4906 imagesH4906? For they sayH559, ‘5The LordH3068 does not seeH7200 us; the LordH3068 has 6forsakenH5800 the landH776.’” 13And He saidH559 to me, “YetH5750 you will seeH7200 stillH7725 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 whichH834 they are committingH6213.”
14Then He broughtH935 me to the entranceH6607 of the 7gateH8179 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 whichH834 was towardH413 the northH6828; and beholdH2009, womenH802 were sittingH3427 thereH8033 weepingH1058 for TammuzH8542. 15He saidH559 to me, “Do you seeH7200 this, sonH1121 of manH120? YetH5750 you will seeH7200 stillH7725 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 thanH4480 theseH428.”
16Then He broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004. And beholdH2009, at the entranceH6607 to the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about twenty-fiveH6242H2568 menH376 with their 8backsH268 to the templeH1964 of the LordH3068 and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and 9they were 10prostratingH7812 themselves eastwardH6924 toward the sunH8121. 17He saidH559 to me, “Do you seeH7200 this, sonH1121 of manH120? Is it too lightH7043 a thingH7043 for the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 to commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213 hereH6311, that they have 11filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555 and 12provokedH3707 Me repeatedlyH7725? For beholdH2009, they are puttingH7971 the twigH2156 to their noseH639. 18Therefore, I indeedH1571 will dealH6213 in wrathH2534. My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 norH3808 will I spareH2550; and 13though they cryH7121 in My earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet I will not listenH8085 to them.”
