Ezekiel 8:16-18
16Then He broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtyardH2691 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 1backsH268 to the templeH1964 of the LordH3068 while their facesH6440 were toward the eastH6924; and 2they were 3prostratingH2331 themselves eastwardH6924 toward the sunH8121.
17And He saidH559 to me, “Do you seeH7200 this, sonH1121 of manH120? IsH7043 it aH7043 trivialH7043 thingH7043 for the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 to commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 whichH834 they have committedH6213 hereH6311, that they have 4filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555 and 5provokedH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707 repeatedlyH7725? Yet beholdH2009, they are 6puttingH7971 the twigH2156 to their noseH639!
18Therefore, I indeedH1571 will dealH6213 in wrathH2534. My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 norH3808 will I spareH2550; and 7though they cryH7121 outH7121 in My earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet I will not listenH8085 to them.”
