¹ H8345 And it came to pass in the sixth H8141 year H8345 , in the sixth H2568 month, in the fifth H2320 day of the month H3427 , as I sat [H8802]   H1004 in mine house H2205 , and the elders H3063 of Judah H3427 sat [H8802]   H6440 before H3027 me, that the hand H136 of the Lord H3069 GOD H5307 fell [H8799]   there upon me.

² H7200 Then I beheld [H8799]   H1823 , and lo a likeness H4758 as the appearance H784 of fire H4758 : from the appearance H4975 of his loins H4295 even downward H784 , fire H4975 ; and from his loins H4605 even upward H4758 , as the appearance H2096 of brightness H5869 , as the colour H2830 of amber.

³ H7971 And he put forth [H8799]   H8403 the form H3027 of an hand H3947 , and took [H8799]   H6734 me by a lock H7218 of mine head H7307 ; and the spirit H5375 lifted me up [H8799]   H776 between the earth H8064 and the heaven H935 , and brought [H8686]   H4759 me in the visions H430 of God H3389 to Jerusalem H6607 , to the door H6442 of the inner H8179 gate H6437 that looketh [H8802]   H6828 toward the north H4186 ; where was the seat H5566 of the image H7068 of jealousy H7069 , which provoketh to jealousy [H8688]  .

⁴ H3519 And, behold, the glory H430 of the God H3478 of Israel H4758 was there, according to the vision H7200 that I saw [H8804]   H1237 in the plain.

⁵ H559 Then said [H8799]   H1121 he unto me, Son H120 of man H5375 , lift up [H8798]   H5869 thine eyes H1870 now the way H6828 toward the north H5375 . So I lifted up [H8799]   H5869 mine eyes H1870 the way H6828 toward the north H6828 , and behold northward H8179 at the gate H4196 of the altar H5566 this image H7068 of jealousy H872 in the entry.

⁶ H559 He said [H8799]   H1121 furthermore unto me, Son H120 of man H7200 , seest [H8802]   H6213 thou what they do [H8802]   H1419 ? even the great H8441 abominations H1004 that the house H3478 of Israel H6213 committeth [H8802]   H7368 here, that I should go far off [H8800]   H4720 from my sanctuary H7725 ? but turn [H8799]   H7200 thee yet again, and thou shalt see [H8799]   H1419 greater H8441 abominations.

⁷ H935 And he brought [H8686]   H6607 me to the door H2691 of the court H7200 ; and when I looked [H8799]   H259 , behold a H2356 hole H7023 in the wall.

⁸ H559 Then said [H8799]   H1121 he unto me, Son H120 of man H2864 , dig [H8798]   H7023 now in the wall H2864 : and when I had digged [H8799]   H7023 in the wall H259 , behold a H6607 door.

⁹ H559 And he said [H8799]   H935 unto me, Go in [H8798]   H7200 , and behold [H8798]   H7451 the wicked H8441 abominations H6213 that they do [H8802]   here.

¹⁰ H935 So I went in [H8799]   H7200 and saw [H8799]   H8403 ; and behold every form H7431 of creeping things H8263 , and abominable H929 beasts H1544 , and all the idols H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H2707 , pourtrayed [H8794]   H7023 upon the wall H5439 round about.

¹¹ H5975 And there stood [H8802]   H6440 before H7657 them seventy H376 men H2205 of the ancients H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H8432 , and in the midst H5975 of them stood [H8802]   H2970 Jaazaniah H1121 the son H8227 of Shaphan H376 , with every man H4730 his censer H3027 in his hand H6282 ; and a thick H6051 cloud H7004 of incense H5927 went up [H8802]  .

¹² H559 Then said [H8799]   H1121 he unto me, Son H120 of man H7200 , hast thou seen [H8804]   H2205 what the ancients H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H6213 do [H8802]   H2822 in the dark H376 , every man H2315 in the chambers H4906 of his imagery H559 ? for they say [H8802]   H3068 , The LORD H7200 seeth [H8802]   H3068 us not; the LORD H5800 hath forsaken [H8804]   H776 the earth.

¹³ H559 He said [H8799]   H7725 also unto me, Turn [H8799]   H7200 thee yet again, and thou shalt see [H8799]   H1419 greater H8441 abominations H6213 that they do [H8802]  .

¹⁴ H935 Then he brought [H8686]   H6607 me to the door H8179 of the gate H3068 of the LORD'S H1004 house H6828 which was toward the north H3427 ; and, behold, there sat [H8802]   H802 women H1058 weeping [H8764]   H8542 for Tammuz.

¹⁵ H559 Then said [H8799]   H7200 he unto me, Hast thou seen [H8804]   H1121 this, O son H120 of man H7725 ? turn [H8799]   H7200 thee yet again, and thou shalt see [H8799]   H1419 greater H8441 abominations than these.

¹⁶ H935 And he brought [H8686]   H6442 me into the inner H2691 court H3068 of the LORD'S H1004 house H6607 , and, behold, at the door H1964 of the temple H3068 of the LORD H197 , between the porch H4196 and the altar H2568 , were about five H6242 and twenty H376 men H268 , with their backs H1964 toward the temple H3068 of the LORD H6440 , and their faces H6924 toward the east H7812 ; and they worshipped [H8693]   H8121 the sun H6924 toward the east.

¹⁷ H559 Then he said [H8799]   H7200 unto me, Hast thou seen [H8804]   H1121 this, O son H120 of man H7043 ? Is it a light thing [H8738]   H1004 to the house H3063 of Judah H6213 that they commit [H8800]   H8441 the abominations H6213 which they commit [H8804]   H4390 here? for they have filled [H8804]   H776 the land H2555 with violence H7725 , and have returned [H8799]   H3707 to provoke me to anger [H8687]   H7971 : and, lo, they put [H8802]   H2156 the branch H639 to their nose.

¹⁸ H6213 Therefore will I also deal [H8799]   H2534 in fury H5869 : mine eye H2347 shall not spare [H8799]   H2550 , neither will I have pity [H8799]   H7121 : and though they cry [H8804]   H241 in mine ears H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H8085 , yet will I not hear [H8799]   them.
