3 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.
4 And there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision that I had seen in the valley.
5 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.
6 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.'
7 Then He brought me to the entrance of the courtyard, and I looked, and behold, there was a hole in the wall.
