YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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
cometh
to
pass,
in the sixth year, in
the sixth
`month',
in
the
fifth of the month, I am
sitting in my house, and elders of Judah are
sitting before me ,
and fall
on
me
there doth
a
hand of the Lord Jehovah,
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
.
and
I look,
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 the colour
of copper
.
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 putteth
forth
a form
of
a
hand ,
and taketh
me by a
lock
of my head ,
and
lift
me up doth
a
spirit
between the
earth and the
heavens,
and it
bringeth
me in to
Jerusalem
in
visions of God, unto
the opening
of the inner
gate that
is
facing
the north
, where `is'
the seat
of
the
figure
of
jealousy that
is
making
jealous,
And there I
saw
the glory
of the God of Israel, like
the vision
I had
seen
in the plain
.
and lo,
there the honour
of the God of Israel, as
the appearance
that
I saw
in the valley
.
“
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.
And
He
saith
unto
me,
`
Son of man, lift up ,
I
pray
thee,
thine
eyes the way
of
the
north. '
And
I lift
up mine
eyes the way
of
the
north, and lo,
on
the north of the gate of
the
altar
this figure
of jealousy ,
at
the
entrance
.
“
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
saith
unto
me,
`
Son of man, art
thou
seeing
what they are doing ?
the great abominations that the house of Israel are
doing
here,
to keep
far off
from My sanctuary ;
and
again
thou
dost
turn,
thou
dost
see great
abominations. '
Then
He brought
me to
the
entrance
to
the court, and I looked
and saw
a hole in the wall .
And
He bringeth
me in
unto
an
opening
of
the court, and I look,
and lo,
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
.
and
He
saith
unto
me,
`
Son of man, dig ,
I
pray
thee,
through the wall ;'
and
I dig
through the wall ,
and lo,
an
opening
.
Then
He said
to me, “
Go in and see the wicked
abominations they are committing
here. ”
And
He saith
to me, `
Go in ,
and see the evil
abominations that
they are doing
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 .
And
I go
in ,
and look
, and lo,
every form
of creeping
thing,
and detestable beast --
and
all the Idols of the house of Israel --
graved
on
the
wall,
all
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
seventy men
of
the
elders of the house of Israel --
and
Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in
their
midst
--
are
standing
before
them ,
and
each his
censer in his hand, and the
abundance
of
the
cloud of perfume
is
going
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 .’”
And
He
saith
unto
me,
`Hast
thou
seen,
son of man, that
which
elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in
the inner
chambers
of his imagery,
for they are saying, Jehovah
is
not seeing
us ,
Jehovah
hath
forsaken the land ?'
Again,
He told
me, “You
will
see them
committing
even
greater
abominations. ”
And
He saith
unto
me, `Again
thou
dost
turn,
thou
dost
see great
abominations that
they
are
doing
. '
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.
And
He bringeth
me in
unto
the opening
of the gate of the house of Jehovah
that
`is'
at
the north
, and lo,
there
the
women are
sitting weeping for Tammuz.
“Son
of
man,”
He said
to
me, “do
you
see
this
? Yet
you
will
see even
greater abominations than these. ”
And
He saith
unto
me, `Hast
thou
seen,
son
of
man
? again
thou
dost
turn,
thou
dost
see 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 bringeth
me in
unto
the inner court of the house of Jehovah
, and lo,
at the opening
of
the temple of Jehovah
, between the porch
and the altar, about twenty-five men ,
their backs toward
the temple of Jehovah,
and their faces eastward,
and they are
bowing themselves
eastward
to the sun.
“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!
And
He saith
unto
me, `Hast
thou
seen,
son
of
man
? hath
it been
a
light
thing
to
the house of Judah to do
the abomination
that
they have
done
here, that they have
filled
the land with violence ,
and turn
back
to
provoke Me to anger? and
lo
, they are putting forth
the branch unto
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. ”
And
I also
deal
in
fury,
Mine
eye
doth
not pity, nor do
I spare ,
and
they have
cried
in Mine
ears --
a
loud
voice
--
and
I do
not hear
them. '
