Ezekiel 8:14–18

14 So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the Lord’s house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for 3Tammuz.

15 Then He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.” 16 So He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house; and there, at the door of the temple of the Lord, qbetween the porch and the altar, rwere about twenty-five men swith their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping tthe sun toward the east.

17 And He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have ufilled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose. 18 vTherefore I also will act in fury. My weye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they xcry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
