World English Bible Classic

^[1] In the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the Lord Yahweh’s hand fell on me there. ^[2] Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire—from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire, and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal. ^[3] He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy. ^[4] Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain. ^[5] Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north.”So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. ^[6] He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.” ^[7] He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. ^[8] Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.”When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door. ^[9] He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.” ^[10] So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall. ^[11] Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up. ^[12] Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, ‘Yahweh doesn’t see us. Yahweh has forsaken the land.’ ” ^[13] He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.” ^[14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yahweh’s house which was toward the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz. ^[15] Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.” ^[16] He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh’s house; and I saw at the door of Yahweh’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward Yahweh’s temple and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east. ^[17] Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, 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 turned again to provoke me to anger. Behold, they put the branch to their nose. ^[18] Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”

^[1] And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 year,H8141 in the sixthH8345 [month], in the fifthH2568 [day] of the month,H2320 [as] I satH3427(QalActPtc) in mine house,H1004 and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GodH3069 fellH5307(QalImpf) there upon me. ^[2] Then I beheld,H7200(QalImpf) and lo a likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of fire:H784 from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downward,H4295 fire;H784 and from his loinsH4975 even upward,H4605 as the appearanceH4758 of brightness,H2096 as the colourH5869 of amber.H2830 ^[3] And he put forthH7971(QalImpf) the formH8403 of an hand,H3027 and tookH3947(QalImpf) me by a lockH6734 of mine head;H7218 and the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375(QalImpf) between the earthH776 and the heaven,H8064 and broughtH935(HiphImpf) me in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to Jerusalem,H3389 to the doorH6607 of the innerH6442 gateH8179 that lookethH6437(QalActPtc) toward the north;H6828 where [was] the seatH4186 of the imageH5566 of jealousy,H7068 which provoketh to jealousy.H7069(HiphPtc) ^[4] And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 [was] there, according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200(QalPerf) in the plain.H1237 ^[5] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 lift upH5375(QalImpv) thine eyesH5869 now the wayH1870 toward the north.H6828 So I lifted upH5375(QalImpf) mine eyesH5869 the wayH1870 toward the north,H6828 and behold northwardH6828 at the gateH8179 of the altarH4196 this imageH5566 of jealousyH7068 in the entry.H872 ^[6] He saidH559(QalImpf) furthermore unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 seestH7200(QalActPtc) thou what they do?H6213(QalActPtc) [even] the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 committethH6213(QalActPtc) here, that I should go far offH7368(QalInf) from my sanctuary?H4720 but turnH7725(QalImpf) thee yet again, [and] thou shalt seeH7200(QalImpf) greaterH1419 abominations.H8441 ^[7] And he broughtH935(HiphImpf) me to the doorH6607 of the court;H2691 and when I looked,H7200(QalImpf) behold aH259 holeH2356 in the wall.H7023 ^[8] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 digH2864(QalImpv) now in the wall:H7023 and when I had diggedH2864(QalImpf) in the wall,H7023 behold aH259 door.H6607 ^[9] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, Go in,H935(QalImpv) and beholdH7200(QalImpv) the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213(QalActPtc) here. ^[10] So I went inH935(QalImpf) and saw;H7200(QalImpf) and behold every formH8403 of creeping things,H7431 and abominableH8263 beasts,H929 and all the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 pourtrayedH2707(PualPtc) upon the wallH7023 round about.H5439 ^[11] And there stoodH5975(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 them seventyH7657 menH376 of the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 and in the midstH8432 of them stoodH5975(QalActPtc) JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of Shaphan,H8227 with every manH376 his censerH4730 in his hand;H3027 and a thickH6282 cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 went up.H5927(QalActPtc) ^[12] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 hast thou seenH7200(QalPerf) what the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213(QalActPtc) in the dark,H2822 every manH376 in the chambersH2315 of his imagery?H4906 for they say,H559(QalActPtc) The LordH3068 seethH7200(QalActPtc) us not; the LordH3068 hath forsakenH5800(QalPerf) the earth.H776 ^[13] He saidH559(QalImpf) also unto me, TurnH7725(QalImpf) thee yet again, [and] thou shalt seeH7200(QalImpf) greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 that they do.H6213(QalActPtc) ^[14] Then he broughtH935(HiphImpf) me to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 which [was] toward the north;H6828 and, behold, there satH3427(QalActPtc) womenH802 weepingH1058(PielPtc) for Tammuz.H8542 ^[15] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, Hast thou seenH7200(QalPerf) [this], O sonH1121 of man?H120 turnH7725(QalImpf) thee yet again, [and] thou shalt seeH7200(QalImpf) greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 than these. ^[16] And he broughtH935(HiphImpf) me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the Lord’sH3068 house,H1004 and, behold, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 of the Lord,H3068 between the porchH197 and the altar,H4196 [were] about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 men,H376 with their backsH268 toward the templeH1964 of the Lord,H3068 and their facesH6440 toward the east;H6924 and they worshippedH7812(HithPtc) the sunH8121 toward the east.H6924 ^[17] Then he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, Hast thou seenH7200(QalPerf) [this], O sonH1121 of man?H120 Is it a light thingH7043(NiphPerf) to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commitH6213(QalInf) the abominationsH8441 which they commitH6213(QalPerf) here? for they have filledH4390(QalPerf) the landH776 with violence,H2555 and have returnedH7725(QalImpf) to provoke me to anger:H3707(HiphInf) and, lo, they putH7971(QalActPtc) the branchH2156 to their nose.H639 ^[18] Therefore will I also dealH6213(QalImpf) in fury:H2534 mine eyeH5869 shall not spare,H2347(QalImpf) neither will I have pity:H2550(QalImpf) and though they cryH7121(QalPerf) in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voice,H6963 [yet] will I not hearH8085(QalImpf) them.
