Berean Standard Bible
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ,
behold,
the glory of the God of Israel was
there
, according
to
the vision that
I saw
in the plain.
And there
I
saw
the glory of the God of Israel, like
the vision I had
seen
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
.
“
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.
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.
“
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 brought me to the door
of
the court ;
and when
I looked ,
behold
a hole in the wall.
Then
He brought me to the entrance
to
the court ,
and I looked and
saw
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
.
“
Son of man, ”
He
told
me,
“
dig through
the wall .”
So
I dug
through
the wall and
discovered
a doorway
.
And
he said unto
me, Go in ,
and behold
the wicked abominations that
they do
here.
Then
He said to
me, “
Go in and see
the wicked abominations they are
committing
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
.
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
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
.
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
.
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
.
“
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
. ’”
He said
also
unto
me, Turn
thee
yet
again,
and
thou
shalt
see greater abominations that
they
do
.
Again,
He told
me, “You
will
see them
committing
even
greater abominations. ”
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 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
said
he unto
me, Hast
thou
seen
this ,
O
son
of
man
? turn
thee
yet again,
and
thou
shalt
see greater abominations than these.
“Son
of
man,”
He said
to
me, “do
you
see
this? Yet you
will
see even
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.
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
.
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 .
“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 !
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.
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. ”
