Ezekiel 8:1-18

And it came to pass in the sixth
<08345>
year
<08141>_,
in the sixth
<08345>
[month], in the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[as] I sat
<03427> (8802)
in mine house
<01004>_,
and the elders
<02205>
of Judah
<03063>
sat
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, that the hand
<03027>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
fell
<05307> (8799)
there upon me.
Then I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,
and lo a likeness
<01823>
as the appearance
<04758>
of fire
<0784>_:
from the appearance
<04758>
of his loins
<04975>
even downward
<04295>_,
fire
<0784>_;
and from his loins
<04975>
even upward
<04605>_,
as the appearance
<04758>
of brightness
<02096>_,
as the colour
<05869>
of amber
<02830>_.
And he put forth
<07971> (8799)
the form
<08403>
of an hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
me by a lock
<06734>
of mine head
<07218>_;
and the spirit
<07307>
lifted me up
<05375> (8799)
between the earth
<0776>
and the heaven
<08064>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
me in the visions
<04759>
of God
<0430>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to the door
<06607>
of the inner
<06442>
gate
<08179>
that looketh
<06437> (8802)
toward the north
<06828>_;
where [was] the seat
<04186>
of the image
<05566>
of jealousy
<07068>_,
which provoketh to jealousy
<07069> (8688)_.
And, behold, the glory
<03519>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
[was] there, according to the vision
<04758>
that I saw
<07200> (8804)
in the plain
<01237>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
now the way
<01870>
toward the north
<06828>_.
So I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>
the way
<01870>
toward the north
<06828>_,
and behold northward
<06828>
at the gate
<08179>
of the altar
<04196>
this image
<05566>
of jealousy
<07068>
in the entry
<0872>_.
He said
<0559> (8799)
furthermore unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
seest
<07200> (8802)
thou what they do
<06213> (8802)_?
[even] the great
<01419>
abominations
<08441>
that the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
committeth
<06213> (8802)
here, that I should go far off
<07368> (8800)
from my sanctuary
<04720>_?
but turn
<07725> (8799)
thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)
greater
<01419>
abominations
<08441>_.
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
me to the door
<06607>
of the court
<02691>_;
and when I looked
<07200> (8799)_,
behold a
<0259>
hole
<02356>
in the wall
<07023>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
dig
<02864> (8798)
now in the wall
<07023>_:
and when I had digged
<02864> (8799)
in the wall
<07023>_,
behold a
<0259>
door
<06607>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Go in
<0935> (8798)_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
the wicked
<07451>
abominations
<08441>
that they do
<06213> (8802)
here.
So I went in
<0935> (8799)
and saw
<07200> (8799)_;
and behold every form
<08403>
of creeping things
<07431>_,
and abominable
<08263>
beasts
<0929>_,
and all the idols
<01544>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
pourtrayed
<02707> (8794)
upon the wall
<07023>
round about
<05439>_.
And there stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
them seventy
<07657>
men
<0376>
of the ancients
<02205>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and in the midst
<08432>
of them stood
<05975> (8802)
Jaazaniah
<02970>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
with every man
<0376>
his censer
<04730>
in his hand
<03027>_;
and a thick
<06282>
cloud
<06051>
of incense
<07004>
went up
<05927> (8802)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
what the ancients
<02205>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
do
<06213> (8802)
in the dark
<02822>_,
every man
<0376>
in the chambers
<02315>
of his imagery
<04906>_?
for they say
<0559> (8802)_,
The LORD
<03068>
seeth
<07200> (8802)
us not; the LORD
<03068>
hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_.
He said
<0559> (8799)
also unto me, Turn
<07725> (8799)
thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)
greater
<01419>
abominations
<08441>
that they do
<06213> (8802)_.
Then he brought
<0935> (8686)
me to the door
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
which [was] toward the north
<06828>_;
and, behold, there sat
<03427> (8802)
women
<0802>
weeping
<01058> (8764)
for Tammuz
<08542>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
[this], O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_?
turn
<07725> (8799)
thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)
greater
<01419>
abominations
<08441>
than these.
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
me into the inner
<06442>
court
<02691>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
and, behold, at the door
<06607>
of the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
between the porch
<0197>
and the altar
<04196>_,
[were] about five
<02568>
and twenty
<06242>
men
<0376>_,
with their backs
<0268>
toward the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and their faces
<06440>
toward the east
<06924>_;
and they worshipped
<07812> (8693)
the sun
<08121>
toward the east
<06924>_.
Then he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
[this], O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_?
Is it a light thing
<07043> (8738)
to the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
that they commit
<06213> (8800)
the abominations
<08441>
which they commit
<06213> (8804)
here? for they have filled
<04390> (8804)
the land
<0776>
with violence
<02555>_,
and have returned
<07725> (8799)
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_:
and, lo, they put
<07971> (8802)
the branch
<02156>
to their nose
<0639>_.
{Is it...: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}
Therefore will I also deal
<06213> (8799)
in fury
<02534>_:
mine eye
<05869>
shall not spare
<02347> (8799)_,
neither will I have pity
<02550> (8799)_:
and though they cry
<07121> (8804)
in mine ears
<0241>
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_,
[yet] will I not hear
<08085> (8799)
them.
