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. There the hand of the Lord Yahweh came 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 mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

I looked, and there was a form with the appearance of fire. From what looked like his waist downward was fire, and from his waist upward was something like a glowing brightness, resembling gleaming metal.

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.

He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the lock of my head. Then the spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north-facing inner gate, where the seat of the idol that provokes jealousy was located.

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.

And there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision that I had seen in the valley.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

Then He said to me, 'Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.' So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the gate of the altar, was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

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.

And He said to me, 'Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see even greater abominations.'

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.

Then He brought me to the entrance of the courtyard, and I looked, and behold, there was 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.

He said to me, 'Son of man, dig through the wall now.' So I dug through the wall, and behold, there was an entrance.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

And He said to me, 'Go in and see the wicked abominations they are doing here.'

And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

So I went in and looked, and behold, there were all sorts of carvings of crawling things, detestable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel engraved on the walls 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, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

Seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing there, with Jaazaniah, son of Shaphan, standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense was rising.

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.

Then He said to me, 'Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each in the chamber of his carved images? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has abandoned the land.’'

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.

And He said to me, 'You will see even greater abominations that they are committing.'

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and behold, there sat women weeping for 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.

And He said to me, 'Have you seen this, son of man? You will see even greater abominations than these.'

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.

Then He brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, bowing down to the sun in the east.

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.

And He said to me, 'Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence and continually anger Me. Behold, 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 returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

Therefore I will act in wrath. My eye will not spare, nor will I have compassion. Even though they cry out loudly in My ears, I will not 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.
