Ezekiel 8
Book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel 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.
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.
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.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to
the vision that I saw in the plain.
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.
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.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold
a hole in the wall.
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.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that
they do here.
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, pourtrayed
upon the wall round about.
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.

A thick cloud of incense = false teaching
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.
13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations that they do.
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..
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.

after Christ.
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.

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.
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.
