Ezekiel 8:11–18

¹¹And there stood before them ^yseventy men of ^zthe ancients of the house of Israel, and ^ain the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of ^bShaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. ¹²Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what ^zthe ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of ^chis imagery? for they say, ^deThe Lord seeth us not; ^dthe Lord hath forsaken the earth. ¹³He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

¹⁴Then he brought me to the door of ^fthe gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. ¹⁵Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. ¹⁶And he brought me into ^gthe inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, ^hbetween ⁱthe porch and ^kthe altar, were ^labout five and twenty men, ^mwith their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and ⁿthey worshipped ^othe sun toward the east. ¹⁷Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? ^||Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they ^uucommit the abominations which they commit here? for ^pthey have filled the land with ^qviolence, and have returned ^rto provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put ^sthe branch to their nose. ^18tTherefore will I also deal in fury: ^umine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and ^vthough they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
