 8:1  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.
 8:2  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.
 8:3  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.
 8:4  And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there,
according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
 8:5  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.
 8:6  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.
 8:7  And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
looked, behold a hole in the wall.
 8:8  Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall:
and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
 8:9  And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
abominations that they do here.
 8:10  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, portrayed upon the wall round about.
 8:11  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.
 8:12  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.
 8:13  He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou
shalt see greater abominations that they do.
 8:14  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.
 8:15  Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of
man? turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater
abominations than these.
 8:16  And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S
house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD,
between the porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty
men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their
faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the
east.
 8:17  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.
 8:18  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.
