Ezekiel 8

1And it came to pass in the sixth^H8345 year^H8141, in the sixth^H8345 month, in the fifth^H2568 day of the month^H2320, as I sat^H3427 in my house^H1004, and the elders^H2205 of Judah^H3063 sat^H3427 before^H6440 me, that the hand^H3027 of the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 fell^H5307 there upon me. 2Then I beheld^H7200, and, lo, a likeness^H1823 as the appearance^H4758 of fire^H784; from the appearance^H4758 of his loins^H4975 and downward^H4295, fire^H784; and from his loins^H4975 and upward^H4605, as the appearance^H4758 of brightness^H2096, as it were glowing^H5869 metal^H2830. 3And he put forth^H7971 the form^H8403 of a hand^H3027, and took^H3947 me by a lock^H6734 of my head^H7218; and the Spirit^H7307 lifted me up^H5375 between earth^H776 and heaven^H8064, and brought^H935 me in the visions^H4759 of God^H430 to Jerusalem^H3389, to the door^H6607 of the gate^H8179 of the inner^H6442 court that looketh^H6437 toward the north^H6828; where was the seat^H4186 of the image^H5566 of jealousy^H7068, which provoketh to jealousy^H7069. 4And, behold, the glory^H3519 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 was there, according to the appearance^H4758 that I saw^H7200 in the plain^H1237. 5Then said^H559 he unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 now the way^H1870 toward the north^H6828. So I lifted up^H5375 mine eyes^H5869 the way^H1870 toward the north^H6828, and behold, northward^H6828 of the gate^H8179 of the altar^H4196 this image^H5566 of jealousy^H7068 in the entry^H872. 6And he said^H559 unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, seest^H7200 thou what they do^H6213? even the great^H1419 abominations^H8441 that the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 do commit^H6213 here, that I should go far off^H7368 from my sanctuary^H4720? But thou shalt again^H7725 see^H7200 yet other great^H1419 abominations^H8441. 7And he brought^H935 me to the door^H6607 of the court^H2691; and when I looked^H7200, behold, a^H259 hole^H2356 in the wall^H7023. 8Then said^H559 he unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, dig^H2864 now in the wall^H7023: and when I had digged^H2864 in the wall^H7023, behold, a^H259 door^H6607. 9And he said^H559 unto me, Go in^H935, and see^H7200 the wicked^H7451 abominations^H8441 that they do^H6213 here. 10So I went in^H935 and saw^H7200; and behold, every form^H8403 of creeping things^H7431, and abominable^H8263 beasts^H929, and all the idols^H1544 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, portrayed^H2707 upon the wall^H7023 round about^H5439. 11And there stood^H5975 before^H6440 them seventy^H7657 men^H376 of the elders^H2205 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478; and in the midst^H8432 of them stood^H5975 Jaazaniah^H2970 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, every man^H376 with his censer^H4730 in his hand^H3027; and the odor^H6282 of the cloud^H6051 of incense^H7004 went up^H5927. 12Then said^H559 he unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, hast thou seen^H7200 what the elders^H2205 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 do^H6213 in the dark^H2822, every man^H376 in his chambers^H2315 of imagery^H4906? for they say^H559, Jehovah^H3068 seeth^H7200 us not; Jehovah^H3068 hath forsaken^H5800 the land^H776. 13He said^H559 also unto me, Thou shalt again^H7725 see^H7200 yet other great^H1419 abominations^H8441 which they do^H6213. 14Then he brought^H935 me to the door^H6607 of the gate^H8179 of Jehovah's^H3068 house^H1004 which was toward the north^H6828; and behold, there sat^H3427 the women^H802 weeping^H1058 for Tammuz^H8542. 15Then said^H559 he unto me, Hast thou seen^H7200 this, O son^H1121 of man^H120? thou shalt again^H7725 see^H7200 yet greater^H1419 abominations^H8441 than these. 16And he brought^H935 me into the inner^H6442 court^H2691 of Jehovah's^H3068 house^H1004; and behold, at the door^H6607 of the temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, between the porch^H197 and the altar^H4196, were about five^H2568 and twenty^H6242 men^H376, with their backs^H268 toward the temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, and their faces^H6440 toward the east^H6924; and they were worshipping^H7812 the sun^H8121 toward the east^H6924. 17Then he said^H559 unto me, Hast thou seen^H7200 this, O son^H1121 of man^H120? Is it a light thing^H7043 to the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 that they commit^H6213 the abominations^H8441 which they commit^H6213 here? for they have filled^H4390 the land^H776 with violence^H2555, and have turned^H7725 again to provoke me to anger^H3707: and, lo, they put^H7971 the branch^H2156 to their nose^H639. 18Therefore will I also deal^H6213 in wrath^H2534; mine eye^H5869 shall not spare^H2347, neither will I have pity^H2550; and though they cry^H7121 in mine ears^H241 with a loud^H1419 voice^H6963, yet will I not hear^H8085 them.
