    1In 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.

    2I 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.

    3He 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.

    4And there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision that I had seen in the valley.

    5Then 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.

    6And 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.'
