In the sixth year, on
the fifth day of the sixth
month, I was
sitting
in my house, and the elders of Judah were
sitting
before me ;
and
there
the hand of the Lord GOD
fell upon me.
And
it
came
to
pass
in the sixth year, in
the sixth
`month',
in
the
fifth `
day '
of the month, as
I sat
in my house, and the elders of Judah sat
before me ,
that
the hand of the Lord Jehovah
fell there
upon me.
Then I looked
and saw
a figure
like
that
of a
man.
From His
waist
down
His
appearance was
like
fire
, and from His waist
up
He
was
as
bright
as the gleam
of amber
.
Then I beheld,
and ,
lo,
a likeness
as
the
appearance
of fire;
from the
appearance of
his
loins
and
downward
, fire;
and from his loins
and
upward,
as the appearance
of brightness,
as
it
were
glowing
metal
.
He stretched
out
what
looked
like
a hand and took me by the
hair
of my head .
Then
the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried
me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance
of the north
gate of the inner court ,
where the idol
that
provokes
jealousy was
seated
.
And
he put
forth
the
form
of
a hand ,
and took me by a
lock
of my head ;
and
the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven ,
and brought
me in the
visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door
of the gate of the inner `
court '
that
looketh
toward
the
north;
where was
the seat
of
the
image
of
jealousy ,
which
provoketh
to
jealousy
.
And there
I
saw
the glory of the God of Israel, like
the vision
I had
seen
in the plain.
And ,
behold,
the glory of the God of Israel was
there
, according
to
the appearance
that
I saw
in the plain.
“
Son of man, ”
He
said
to
me,
“now
lift up your
eyes to
the north. ”
So I lifted up my
eyes to
the north, and in
the entrance
north
of the Altar Gate
I
saw
this idol
of jealousy.
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
of
the gate
of the altar this image
of jealousy in
the
entry
.
“Son
of
man,”
He said to
me, “do
you
see
what they are
doing—
the great abominations that the house of Israel is
committing—to
drive
Me
far from My sanctuary? Yet
you
will
see even
greater
abominations. ”
And
he said unto
me, Son
of
man,
seest
thou
what they do?
even
the great abominations that the house of Israel do
commit
here,
that
I
should
go
far off
from my sanctuary? but
thou
shalt
again
see yet
other
great
abominations.
Then
He brought me to the entrance
to
the court ,
and I looked and
saw
a hole in the wall.
And
he brought me to the door
of
the court ;
and when
I looked ,
behold,
a hole in the wall.
“
Son of man, ”
He
told
me,
“
dig through
the wall .”
So
I dug
through
the wall and
discovered
a doorway
.
Then
said
he
unto
me,
Son of man, dig now
in
the wall :
and
when
I had
digged
in
the wall ,
behold,
a door
.
Then
He said to
me, “
Go in and see the wicked abominations they are
committing
here. ”
And
he said unto
me, Go in ,
and see the wicked abominations that
they do
here.
So I went in and looked,
and engraved
all
around
the
wall
was
every kind
of crawling
creature
and detestable
beast
, along
with
all the idols of the house of Israel.
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 ,
portrayed
upon
the
wall
round
about
.
Before them stood
seventy elders of the house of Israel ,
with
Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing
among
them.
Each
had
a
censer in his hand ,
and a
fragrant
cloud of incense was
rising
.
And
there
stood
before them seventy men
of
the
elders of the house of Israel ;
and
in
the
midst
of
them
stood
Jaazaniah the
son of Shaphan ,
every
man
with
his
censer in his hand ;
and the
odor
of
the
cloud of incense went
up
.
“
Son of man, ”
He
said
to
me,
“do
you
see
what the elders of the house of Israel are
doing
in the darkness
, each
at
the
shrine
of
his own
idol
? For they are
saying
, ‘The
LORD
does
not
see
us; the
LORD
has
forsaken the land. ’”
Then
said
he
unto
me,
Son of man, hast
thou
seen
what the elders of the house of Israel do
in the dark
, every
man
in
his chambers
of
imagery
? for they say
, Jehovah
seeth
us not
; Jehovah
hath
forsaken the land.
Again,
He told
me, “You
will
see them
committing
even
greater
abominations. ”
He said
also
unto
me, Thou
shalt
again
see yet
other
great
abominations which
they
do
.
Then He brought me to the entrance
of the north
gate of the
house of
the LORD,
and I
saw
women
sitting
there
, weeping for Tammuz.
Then he brought me to the door
of the gate of Jehovah's
house which
was
toward
the north;
and behold
, there
sat
the
women
weeping for Tammuz.
“Son
of
man,”
He
said to
me, “do
you
see
this? Yet
you
will
see even
greater abominations than these. ”
Then
said he
unto
me, Hast
thou
seen
`
this ',
O
son
of
man
? thou
shalt
again
see yet
greater abominations than these.
So
He brought me to
the inner court of the
house of
the
LORD,
and there
at the entrance
to
the temple of the
LORD
, between the portico
and the altar, were about twenty-
five men with their backs to
the temple of the
LORD
and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing
to
the
east
in
worship
of
the sun.
And
he brought me into
the inner court of Jehovah's
house ;
and behold,
at the door
of
the temple of Jehovah
, between the porch
and the altar, were about five and
twenty
men ,
with their backs toward
the temple of Jehovah,
and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping
the sun toward
the
east
.
“Son
of
man,”
He said to
me, “do
you
see
this? Is it not
enough
for
the house of Judah to
commit the abominations they are
practicing
here ,
that
they must
also
fill
the land with violence and continually
provoke Me to anger ?
Look
, they are
even
putting
the branch to their nose !
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
turned
again
to
provoke me to anger :
and
, lo,
they put
the branch to their nose .
Therefore I
will respond
with
wrath.
I will
not look
on
them
with
pity
, nor
will I spare
them.
Although
they shout
loudly
in My
ears, I
will not listen
to
them. ”
Therefore will I also
deal
in
wrath;
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.
