    3He stretched out the form of a hand and grabbed me by a lock of hair on my head. Then a wind lifted me up between the earth and sky and brought me to Jerusalem by means of divine visions, to the door of the inner gate which faces north where the statue which provokes to jealousy was located.

    4Then I perceived that the glory of the God of Israel was there, as in the vision I had seen earlier in the valley.

    5He said to me,“Son of man, look up toward the north.” So I looked up toward the north, and I noticed to the north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy at the entrance.

    6He said to me,“Son of man, do you see what they are doing– the great abominations that the people of Israel are practicing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see greater abominations than these!”

    7He brought me to the entrance of the court, and as I watched, I noticed a hole in the wall.

    8He said to me,“Son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway.

    9He said to me,“Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”

    10So I went in and looked. I noticed every figure of creeping thing and beast– detestable images– and every idol of the house of Israel, engraved on the wall all around.
