Ezekiel 8:1-18

8:1

And it came to pass in the sixth
<08345>

year
<08141>_,

in the sixth
<08345>

[month], in the fifth
<02568>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[as] I sat
<03427> (8802)

in mine house
<01004>_,

and the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>

sat
<03427> (8802)

before
<06440>

me, that the hand
<03027>

of the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

fell
<05307> (8799)

there upon me.

8:2

Then I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,

and lo a likeness
<01823>

as the appearance
<04758>

of fire
<0784>_:

from the appearance
<04758>

of his loins
<04975>

even downward
<04295>_,

fire
<0784>_;

and from his loins
<04975>

even upward
<04605>_,

as the appearance
<04758>

of brightness
<02096>_,

as the colour
<05869>

of amber
<02830>_.

8:3

And he put forth
<07971> (8799)

the form
<08403>

of an hand
<03027>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

me by a lock
<06734>

of mine head
<07218>_;

and the spirit
<07307>

lifted me up
<05375> (8799)

between the earth
<0776>

and the heaven
<08064>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

me in the visions
<04759>

of God
<0430>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to the door
<06607>

of the inner
<06442>

gate
<08179>

that looketh
<06437> (8802)

toward the north
<06828>_;

where [was] the seat
<04186>

of the image
<05566>

of jealousy
<07068>_,

which provoketh to jealousy
<07069> (8688)_.

8:4

And, behold, the glory
<03519>

of the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

[was] there, according to the vision
<04758>

that I saw
<07200> (8804)

in the plain
<01237>_.

8:5

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

lift up
<05375> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>

now the way
<01870>

toward the north
<06828>_.

So I lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine eyes
<05869>

the way
<01870>

toward the north
<06828>_,

and behold northward
<06828>

at the gate
<08179>

of the altar
<04196>

this image
<05566>

of jealousy
<07068>

in the entry
<0872>_.

8:6

He said
<0559> (8799)

furthermore unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

seest
<07200> (8802)

thou what they do
<06213> (8802)_?

[even] the great
<01419>

abominations
<08441>

that the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

committeth
<06213> (8802)

here, that I should go far off
<07368> (8800)

from my sanctuary
<04720>_?

but turn
<07725> (8799)

thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

greater
<01419>

abominations
<08441>_.

8:7

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

me to the door
<06607>

of the court
<02691>_;

and when I looked
<07200> (8799)_,

behold a
<0259>

hole
<02356>

in the wall
<07023>_.

8:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

dig
<02864> (8798)

now in the wall
<07023>_:

and when I had digged
<02864> (8799)

in the wall
<07023>_,

behold a
<0259>

door
<06607>_.

8:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Go in
<0935> (8798)_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

the wicked
<07451>

abominations
<08441>

that they do
<06213> (8802)

here.

8:10

So I went in
<0935> (8799)

and saw
<07200> (8799)_;

and behold every form
<08403>

of creeping things
<07431>_,

and abominable
<08263>

beasts
<0929>_,

and all the idols
<01544>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

pourtrayed
<02707> (8794)

upon the wall
<07023>

round about
<05439>_.

8:11

And there stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

them seventy
<07657>

men
<0376>

of the ancients
<02205>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and in the midst
<08432>

of them stood
<05975> (8802)

Jaazaniah
<02970>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

with every man
<0376>

his censer
<04730>

in his hand
<03027>_;

and a thick
<06282>

cloud
<06051>

of incense
<07004>

went up
<05927> (8802)_.

8:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

what the ancients
<02205>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

do
<06213> (8802)

in the dark
<02822>_,

every man
<0376>

in the chambers
<02315>

of his imagery
<04906>_?

for they say
<0559> (8802)_,

The LORD
<03068>

seeth
<07200> (8802)

us not; the LORD
<03068>

hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_.

8:13

He said
<0559> (8799)

also unto me, Turn
<07725> (8799)

thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

greater
<01419>

abominations
<08441>

that they do
<06213> (8802)_.

8:14

Then he brought
<0935> (8686)

me to the door
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>

which [was] toward the north
<06828>_;

and, behold, there sat
<03427> (8802)

women
<0802>

weeping
<01058> (8764)

for Tammuz
<08542>_.

8:15

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

[this], O son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_?

turn
<07725> (8799)

thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

greater
<01419>

abominations
<08441>

than these.

8:16

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

me into the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and, behold, at the door
<06607>

of the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

between the porch
<0197>

and the altar
<04196>_,

[were] about five
<02568>

and twenty
<06242>

men
<0376>_,

with their backs
<0268>

toward the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and their faces
<06440>

toward the east
<06924>_;

and they worshipped
<07812> (8693)

the sun
<08121>

toward the east
<06924>_.

8:17

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

[this], O son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_?

Is it a light thing
<07043> (8738)

to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

that they commit
<06213> (8800)

the abominations
<08441>

which they commit
<06213> (8804)

here? for they have filled
<04390> (8804)

the land
<0776>

with violence
<02555>_,

and have returned
<07725> (8799)

to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

and, lo, they put
<07971> (8802)

the branch
<02156>

to their nose
<0639>_.

{Is it...: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}

8:18

Therefore will I also deal
<06213> (8799)

in fury
<02534>_:

mine eye
<05869>

shall not spare
<02347> (8799)_,

neither will I have pity
<02550> (8799)_:

and though they cry
<07121> (8804)

in mine ears
<0241>

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

[yet] will I not hear
<08085> (8799)

them.
