And it came to pass in the sixth
year,
in the sixth
month, in the fifth
day of the month,
as I sat
in mine house,
and the elders
of Judah
sat
before
me, that the hand
of the Lord
GOD
fell
there upon me.
Then I beheld,
and lo a likeness
as the appearance
of fire:
from the appearance
of his loins
even downward,
fire;
and from his loins
even upward,
as the appearance
of brightness,
as the colour
of amber.

And he put forth
the form
of an hand,
and took
me by a lock
of mine head;
and the spirit
lifted me up
between the earth
and the heaven,
and brought
me in the visions
of God
to Jerusalem,
to the door
of the inner
gate
that looketh
toward the north;
where was the seat
of the image
of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.

And, behold, the glory
of the God
of Israel
was there, according to the vision
that I saw
in the plain.
Then said
he unto me, Son
of man,
lift up
thine eyes
now the way
toward the north.
So I lifted up
mine eyes
the way
toward the north,
and behold northward
at the gate
of the altar
this image
of jealousy
in the entry.

He said
furthermore unto me, Son
of man,
seest
thou what they do?
even the great
abominations
that the house
of Israel
committeth
here, that I should go far off
from my sanctuary?
but turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see
greater
abominations.

And he brought
me to the door
of the court;
and when I looked,
behold a
hole
in the wall.
Then said
he unto me, Son
of man,
dig
now in the wall:
and when I had digged
in the wall,
behold a
door.
And he said
unto me, Go in,
and behold
the wicked
abominations
that they do
here.
So I went in
and saw;
and behold every form
of creeping things,
and abominable
beasts,
and all the idols
of the house
of Israel,
pourtrayed
upon the wall
round about.
And there stood
before
them seventy
men
of the ancients
of the house
of Israel,
and in the midst
of them stood
Jaazaniah
the son
of Shaphan,
with every man
his censer
in his hand;
and a thick
cloud
of incense
went up.

Then said
he unto me, Son
of man,
hast thou seen
what the ancients
of the house
of Israel
do
in the dark,
every man
in the chambers
of his imagery?
for they say,
The LORD
seeth
us not; the LORD
hath forsaken
the earth.

He said
also unto me, Turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see
greater
abominations
that they do.
Then he brought
me to the door
of the gate
of the LORD'S
house
which was toward the north;
and, behold, there sat
women
weeping
for Tammuz.
Then said
he unto me, Hast thou seen
this, O son
of man?
turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see
greater
abominations
than these.
And he brought
me into the inner
court
of the LORD'S
house,
and, behold, at the door
of the temple
of the LORD,
between the porch
and the altar,
were about five
and twenty
men,
with their backs
toward the temple
of the LORD,
and their faces
toward the east;
and they worshipped
the sun
toward the east.

Then he said
unto me, Hast thou seen
this, O son
of man?
Is it a light thing
to the house
of Judah
that they commit
the abominations
which they commit
here? for they have filled
the land
with violence,
and have returned
to provoke me to anger:
and, lo, they put
the branch
to their nose.

Therefore will I also deal
in fury:
mine eye
shall not spare,
neither will I have pity:
and though they cry
in mine ears
with a loud
voice,
yet will I not hear
them.
