8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth 8345 year 8141, in the sixth 8345 [month], in the fifth 2568 [day] of the month 2320, [as] I sat 3427 8802 in mine house 1004, and the elders 2205 of Judah 3063 sat 3427 8802 before 6440 me, that the hand 3027 of the Lord 136 GOD 3069 fell 5307 8799 there upon me.

8:2 Then I beheld 7200 8799, and lo a likeness 1823 as the appearance 4758 of fire 784: from the appearance 4758 of his loins 4975 even downward 4295, fire 784; and from his loins 4975 even upward 4605, as the appearance 4758 of brightness 2096, as the colour 5869 of amber 2830.

8:3 And he put forth 7971 8799 the form 8403 of an hand 3027, and took 3947 8799 me by a lock 6734 of mine head 7218; and the spirit 7307 lifted me up 5375 8799 between the earth 776 and the heaven 8064, and brought 935 8686 me in the visions 4759 of God 430 to Jerusalem 3389, to the door 6607 of the inner 6442 gate 8179 that looketh 6437 8802 toward the north 6828; where [was] the seat 4186 of the image 5566 of jealousy 7068, which provoketh to jealousy 7069 8688.

8:4 And, behold, the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 [was] there, according to the vision 4758 that I saw 7200 8804 in the plain 1237.

8:5 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, Son 1121 of man 120, lift up 5375 8798 thine eyes 5869 now the way 1870 toward the north 6828. So I lifted up 5375 8799 mine eyes 5869 the way 1870 toward the north 6828, and behold northward 6828 at the gate 8179 of the altar 4196 this image 5566 of jealousy 7068 in the entry 872.

8:6 He said 559 8799 furthermore unto me, Son 1121 of man 120, seest 7200 8802 thou what they do 6213 8802? [even] the great 1419 abominations 8441 that the house 1004 of Israel 3478 committeth 6213 8802 here, that I should go far off 7368 8800 from my sanctuary 4720? but turn 7725 8799 thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see 7200 8799 greater 1419 abominations 8441.

8:7 And he brought 935 8686 me to the door 6607 of the court 2691; and when I looked 7200 8799, behold a 259 hole 2356 in the wall 7023.

8:8 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, Son 1121 of man 120, dig 2864 8798 now in the wall 7023: and when I had digged 2864 8799 in the wall 7023, behold a 259 door 6607.

8:9 And he said 559 8799 unto me, Go in 935 8798, and behold 7200 8798 the wicked 7451 abominations 8441 that they do 6213 8802 here.

8:10 So I went in 935 8799 and saw 7200 8799; and behold every form 8403 of creeping things 7431, and abominable 8263 beasts 929, and all the idols 1544 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, pourtrayed 2707 8794 upon the wall 7023 round about 5439.

8:11 And there stood 5975 8802 before 6440 them seventy 7657 men 376 of the ancients 2205 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, and in the midst 8432 of them stood 5975 8802 Jaazaniah 2970 the son 1121 of Shaphan 8227, with every man 376 his censer 4730 in his hand 3027; and a thick 6282 cloud 6051 of incense 7004 went up 5927 8802.

8:12 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, Son 1121 of man 120, hast thou seen 7200 8804 what the ancients 2205 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 do 6213 8802 in the dark 2822, every man 376 in the chambers 2315 of his imagery 4906? for they say 559 8802, The LORD 3068 seeth 7200 8802 us not; the LORD 3068 hath forsaken 5800 8804 the earth 776.

8:13 He said 559 8799 also unto me, Turn 7725 8799 thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see 7200 8799 greater 1419 abominations 8441 that they do 6213 8802.

8:14 Then he brought 935 8686 me to the door 6607 of the gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004 which [was] toward the north 6828; and, behold, there sat 3427 8802 women 802 weeping 1058 8764 for Tammuz 8542.

8:15 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, Hast thou seen 7200 8804 [this], O son 1121 of man 120? turn 7725 8799 thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see 7200 8799 greater 1419 abominations 8441 than these.

8:16 And he brought 935 8686 me into the inner 6442 court 2691 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, and, behold, at the door 6607 of the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, between the porch 197 and the altar 4196, [were] about five 2568 and twenty 6242 men 376, with their backs 268 toward the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, and their faces 6440 toward the east 6924; and they worshipped 7812 8693 the sun 8121 toward the east 6924.

8:17 Then he said 559 8799 unto me, Hast thou seen 7200 8804 [this], O son 1121 of man 120? Is it a light thing 7043 8738 to the house 1004 of Judah 3063 that they commit 6213 8800 the abominations 8441 which they commit 6213 8804 here? for they have filled 4390 8804 the land 776 with violence 2555, and have returned 7725 8799 to provoke me to anger 3707 8687: and, lo, they put 7971 8802 the branch 2156 to their nose 639.(Is it…: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit)

8:18 Therefore will I also deal 6213 8799 in fury 2534: mine eye 5869 shall not spare 2347 8799, neither will I have pity 2550 8799: and though they cry 7121 8804 in mine ears 241 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, [yet] will I not hear 8085 8799 them.
