< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it was - in the year sixth in the sixth [month] on [day] five of the month I [was] sitting in house my and [the] elders of Judah [were] sitting before me and it fell on me there [the] hand of [the] Lord Yahweh.
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.
2 And I saw and there! a likeness like [the] appearance of fire [was] from [the] appearance of hips his and downwards fire and [was] from hips his and upwards like [the] appearance of brightness like [the] appearance of shining substance towards.
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.
3 And he stretched out [the] form of a hand and he took me by [the] hair of head my and it carried me a spirit - between the earth and between the heavens and it brought me Jerusalem towards in visions of God to [the] opening of [the] gate the inner [court] which faces north-ward where [was] there [the] location of [the] idol of jealousy which provokes to jealousy.
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 looks toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
4 And there! [was] there [the] glory of [the] God of Israel like the appearance which I had seen on the plain.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5 And he said to me O son of humankind lift up please eyes your [the] direction north-ward and I lifted up eyes my [the] direction north-ward and there! from [the] north of [the] gate of the altar [the] idol of jealousy this [was] in the entrance.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up your 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.
6 And he said to me O son of humankind ¿ seeing [are] you (what [are] they? *QK) doing abominations great which [the] house of Israel - [are] doing here to be far from at sanctuary my and again you will return you will see abominations great.
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me to [the] entrance of the court and I saw and there! a hole one [was] in the wall.
And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 And he said to me O son of humankind dig please in the wall and I dug in the wall and there! an opening one.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold a door.
9 And he said to me go and see the abominations wicked which they [are] doing here.
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 And I went and I saw and there! every form of creeping thing and animal detestable thing and all [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [was] carved on the wall all around - all around.
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.
11 And seventy man from [the] elders of [the] house of Israel and Jaazaniah [the] son of Shaphan [was] standing in midst of them [were] standing before them and everyone censer his [was] in hand his and [the] fragrance of [the] cloud of incense [was] going up.
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.
12 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind [that] which [the] elders of [the] house of Israel [are] doing in the darkness everyone in [the] rooms of carved image his for [they are] saying not Yahweh [is] seeing us he has forsaken Yahweh the land.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, have you 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 sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the earth.
13 And he said to me again you will return you will see abominations great which they [are] doing.
He said also unto me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.
14 And he brought me to [the] entrance of [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh which [was] to the north towards and there! there the women [were] sitting bewailing Tammuz.
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.
15 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind again you will return you will see abominations great more than these.
Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me to [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh inner and there! [were at] [the] entrance of [the] temple of Yahweh between the porch and between the altar about twenty and five person[s] backs their [were] to [the] temple of Yahweh and faces their [were] east-ward and they [were] bowing down east-ward to the sun.
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.
17 And he said to me ¿ have you seen O son of humankind ¿ is it [too] trifling for [the] house of Judah for doing the abominations which they have done here that they have filled the land violence and they have returned to provoke to anger me and there they [are] sending the branch to nose their.
Then he said unto me, Have you 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.
18 And also I I will act in rage not it will look with compassion eye my and not I will show pity and they will call out in ears my a voice great and not I will hear them.
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.
