Taken to Jerusalem
And in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, while I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, the hand of the Lord GOD fell on me there. And I looked, and there was a likeness like the look of fire. From what looked like his waist downward it was fire, and from his waist upward it was like the look of brightness, like amber. And he put out the shape of a hand and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that faces north, where the seat of the idol that stirs up jealousy was. And look: the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision I saw in the valley. Then he said to me: Son of man, lift your eyes now towards the north. So I lifted my eyes towards the north, and look: north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance. He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing — the great disgusting things the people of Israel commits here, driving me far from my sanctuary? But turn again, and you will see greater disgusting things.”
And in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, while I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting in front of me, the hand of the Lord God fell on me there. And I looked, and there was a likeness like the look of fire. From what looked like his waist downward it was fire, and from his waist upward it was like the look of brightness, like glowing metal. And he put out the shape of a hand and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that faces north, where the seat of the idol that stirs up jealousy was. And look — the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision I saw in the valley. Then he said to me: Son of man, lift your eyes now towards the north. So I lifted my eyes towards the north, and look — north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance. And he said to me: Son of man, do you see what they're doing — the great disgusting things the house of Israel is doing here, to drive me a long way off from my holy place? But turn round again and you'll see greater disgusting things.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

What they do in the dark
And he brought me to the door of the court, and I looked, and there was a hole in the wall. Then he said to me: Son of man, dig into the wall now. And when I'd dug into the wall, look: there was a door. And he said to me: Go in and look at the wicked disgusting things they're doing here. So I went in and looked, and there was every kind of creeping thing and rotten animal, and all the idols of the people of Israel, carved on the wall all round. And seventy men of the elders of the people of Israel were standing before them, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them, each man with his censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense going up. Then he said, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the people of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? They say, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has abandoned the earth.’” And he said to me: Turn round again and you'll see greater disgusting things they're doing. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house toward the north, and there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then he said to me: Have you seen this, son of man? Turn round again and you'll see greater disgusting things than these. He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house. At the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, worshipping the sun toward the east. Then he said to me: Have you seen this, son of man? Is it too small a thing for the people of Judah to do the disgusting things they're doing here? Because they've filled the land with violence and turned round to make me angry. And look: they're putting the branch to their nose. So I'll deal with them in fury too. My eye won't spare, and I won't have any pity. And though they cry out in my ears with a loud voice, I won't listen to them.

Then he said to me: Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, each man in the rooms of his carved images? Because they say: The Lord doesn't see us. The Lord has left the land. And he said to me: Turn round again and you'll see greater disgusting things they're doing. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house that faces north, and there were women sitting there weeping for Tammuz. Then he said to me: Have you seen this, son of man? Turn round again and you'll see greater disgusting things than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and there at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces to the east, and they were bowing to the sun in the east. Then he said to me: Have you seen this, son of man? Is it too small a thing for the house of Judah to do the disgusting things they're doing here? Because they've filled the land with violence and turned round to make me angry. And look — they're putting the branch to their nose. So I'll deal with them in fury too.

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
