26:008:002 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.
26:008:003 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.
26:008:004 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel
was there,
according
to the vision that I saw in the plain.
26:008:005 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.
26:008:006 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.
26:008:007 And he brought me to the door of the court;
and when I looked,
behold
a hole in the wall.
26:008:008 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now
in the wall: and
when
I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
26:008:009 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold
the wicked abominations
that
they do here.
26:008:010 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.
26:008:011 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.
26:008:012 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.
26:008:013 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again,
and thou shalt see
greater
abominations that they do.
26:008:014 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.
26:008:015 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.
