Ezekiel 8

Revised Version 1895

1And it cameH1961 to in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the fifthH2568 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 meH6440, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH136 fellH5307 there uponH5921 meH6440. 2Then I beheld, and, loH2009, 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 brightnessH2096, as the colour of amberH2830. 3And he putH7971 forthH7971 the formH8403 of an handH3027, and tookH3947 meH413 by a lockH6734 of mine headH7218; and the spiritH7307 liftedH5375 meH413 upH5375 betweenH996 the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, and broughtH935 meH413 in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389, to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the innerH6442 courtH8179 that looketh towardH413 the northH6828; whereH834 was the seatH4186 of the imageH8403 of jealousyH7068, whichH834 provoketh to jealousyH7068. 4And, beholdH2009, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the appearanceH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237. 5Then saidH559 he unto meH413, SonH1121 of manH120, liftH5375 upH5375 thine eyesH5869 nowH4994 the wayH1870 towardH413 the northH6828. SoH5375 I liftedH5375 upH5375 mine eyesH5869 the wayH1870 towardH413 the northH6828, and beholdH2009 northwardH6828 of the gateH8179 of the altarH4196 this image of jealousyH7068 in the entry. 6And he saidH559 unto meH413, SonH1121 of manH120, seest thou whatH834 they doH6213? evenH5750 the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 commit hereH6311, that I should goH7725 farH7368 offH5921 from my sanctuaryH4720? but thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yet otherH5750 greatH1419 abominationsH8441. 7And he broughtH935 meH413 to the doorH6607 of the courtH2691; and when I lookedH7200, beholdH2009 a holeH2356 in the wallH7023. 8Then saidH559 he unto meH413, SonH1121 of manH120, digH2864 nowH4994 in the wallH7023: and when I had digged in the wallH7023, beholdH2009 a doorH6607. 9And he saidH559 unto meH413, GoH935 in, and seeH7200 the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213 hereH6311. 10SoH935 I wentH935 in and sawH7200; and beholdH2009 everyH3605 formH8403 of creepingH7431 things, and abominable beastsH929, and allH3605 the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, pourtrayed uponH5921 the wallH7023 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 11And there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 them seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and in the midstH8432 of them stoodH5975 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, with everyH376 manH376 his censerH4730 in his handH3027; and the odour of the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 wentH5927 upH5927. 12Then saidH559 he unto meH413, SonH1121 of manH376, hast thou seenH7200 whatH834 the eldersH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 in the darkH2822, everyH376 manH376 in his chambersH2315 of imagery? for they sayH559, the LORDH3068 seeth usH413 notH369; the LORDH3068 hath forsaken the earthH776. 13He saidH559 also unto meH413, Thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yet otherH5750 greatH1419 abominationsH8441 whichH834 they doH6213. 14Then he broughtH935 meH413 to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004 whichH834 was towardH413 the northH6828; and beholdH2009, there satH3427 the womenH802 weepingH1058 for TammuzH8542. 15Then saidH559 he unto meH413, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? thou shalt againH5750 seeH7200 yet greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 thanH1419 theseH428. 16And he broughtH935 meH413 intoH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004, and beholdH2009, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1004 of the LORDH3068, betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were aboutH413 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 towardH413 the templeH1004 of the LORDH3068, and their facesH6440 towardH413 the eastH6924; and they worshipped the sunH8121 towardH413 the eastH6924. 17Then he saidH559 unto meH413, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a lightH7043 thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commit the abominationsH8441 whichH834 they commit hereH6311? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have turnedH7725 againH7725 to provokeH3707 meH413 to angerH639: and, loH2005, they putH7971 the branchH2156 to their noseH639. 18Therefore will I also dealH6213 in furyH2534: mine eyeH5869 shall notH3808 spareH2550, neitherH3808 will I have pityH2347: and thoughH1571 they cryH7121 in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet will I notH3808 hearH8085 them.
