And it came to pass in the sixth{H8345} year,{H8141} in the sixth{H8345} [month], in the fifth{H2568} [day] of the month,{H2320} as I sat{H3427} in my house,{H1004} and the elders{H2205} of Judah{H3063} sat{H3427} before{H6440} me, that the hand{H3027} of the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} fell{H5307} there upon me.

Then I beheld,{H7200} and, lo, a likeness{H1823} as the appearance{H4758} of fire;{H784} from the appearance{H4758} of his loins{H4975} and downward,{H4295} fire;{H784} and from his loins{H4975} and upward,{H4605} as the appearance{H4758} of brightness,{H2096} as it were glowing{H5869} metal.{H2830}

And he put forth{H7971} the form{H8403} of a hand,{H3027} and took{H3947} me by a lock{H6734} of my head;{H7218} and the Spirit{H7307} lifted me up{H5375} between earth{H776} and heaven,{H8064} and brought{H935} me in the visions{H4759} of God{H430} to Jerusalem,{H3389} to the door{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of the inner{H6442} [court] that looketh{H6437} toward the north;{H6828} where was the seat{H4186} of the image{H5566} of jealousy,{H7068} which provoketh to jealousy.{H7069}

And, behold, the glory{H3519} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} was there, according to the appearance{H4758} that I saw{H7200} in the plain.{H1237}

Then said{H559} he unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} lift up{H5375} thine eyes{H5869} now the way{H1870} toward the north.{H6828} So I lifted up{H5375} mine eyes{H5869} the way{H1870} toward the north,{H6828} and behold, northward{H6828} of the gate{H8179} of the altar{H4196} this image{H5566} of jealousy{H7068} in the entry.{H872}

And he said{H559} unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} seest{H7200} thou what they do?{H6213} even the great{H1419} abominations{H8441} that the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} do commit{H6213} here, that I should go far off{H7368} from my sanctuary?{H4720} But thou shalt again{H7725} see{H7200} yet other great{H1419} abominations.{H8441}

And he brought{H935} me to the door{H6607} of the court;{H2691} and when I looked,{H7200} behold, a{H259} hole{H2356} in the wall.{H7023}

Then said{H559} he unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} dig{H2864} now in the wall:{H7023} and when I had digged{H2864} in the wall,{H7023} behold, a{H259} door.{H6607}

And he said{H559} unto me, Go in,{H935} and see{H7200} the wicked{H7451} abominations{H8441} that they do{H6213} here.

So I went in{H935} and saw;{H7200} and behold, every form{H8403} of creeping things,{H7431} and abominable{H8263} beasts,{H929} and all the idols{H1544} of the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} portrayed{H2707} upon the wall{H7023} round about.{H5439}

And there stood{H5975} before{H6440} them seventy{H7657} men{H376} of the elders{H2205} of the house{H1004} of Israel;{H3478} and in the midst{H8432} of them stood{H5975} Jaazaniah{H2970} the son{H1121} of Shaphan,{H8227} every man{H376} with his censer{H4730} in his hand;{H3027} and the odor{H6282} of the cloud{H6051} of incense{H7004} went up.{H5927}

Then said{H559} he unto me, Son{H1121} of man,{H120} hast thou seen{H7200} what the elders{H2205} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} do{H6213} in the dark,{H2822} every man{H376} in his chambers{H2315} of imagery?{H4906} for they say,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} seeth{H7200} us not; Jehovah{H3068} hath forsaken{H5800} the land.{H776}

He said{H559} also unto me, Thou shalt again{H7725} see{H7200} yet other great{H1419} abominations{H8441} which they do.{H6213}

Then he brought{H935} me to the door{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of Jehovah's{H3068} house{H1004} which was toward the north;{H6828} and behold, there sat{H3427} the women{H802} weeping{H1058} for Tammuz.{H8542}

Then said{H559} he unto me, Hast thou seen{H7200} [this], O son{H1121} of man?{H120} thou shalt again{H7725} see{H7200} yet greater{H1419} abominations{H8441} than these.

And he brought{H935} me into the inner{H6442} court{H2691} of Jehovah's{H3068} house;{H1004} and behold, at the door{H6607} of the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} between the porch{H197} and the altar,{H4196} were about five{H2568} and twenty{H6242} men,{H376} with their backs{H268} toward the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} and their faces{H6440} toward the east;{H6924} and they were worshipping{H7812} the sun{H8121} toward the east.{H6924}

Then he said{H559} unto me, Hast thou seen{H7200} [this], O son{H1121} of man?{H120} Is it a light thing{H7043} to the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063} that they commit{H6213} the abominations{H8441} which they commit{H6213} here? for they have filled{H4390} the land{H776} with violence,{H2555} and have turned{H7725} again to provoke me to anger:{H3707} and, lo, they put{H7971} the branch{H2156} to their nose.{H639}

Therefore will I also deal{H6213} in wrath;{H2534} mine eye{H5869} shall not spare,{H2347} neither will I have pity;{H2550} and though they cry{H7121} in mine ears{H241} with a loud{H1419} voice,{H6963} yet will I not hear{H8085} them.
