image of jealousy in the entry.
008:006 He said to me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great
abominations that the house of Israel do commit here,
that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but you shall
again see yet other great abominations.
008:007 He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked,
behold, a hole in the wall.
008:008 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall:
and when I had dug in the wall, behold, a door.
008:009 He said to me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that
they do here.
008:010 So I went in and saw; and see, every form of creeping things,
and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
portrayed on the wall round about.
008:011 There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house
of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah
the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand;
and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
008:012 Then said he to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders
of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his
chambers of imagery? for they say, Yahweh doesn't see us;
Yahweh has forsaken the land.
008:013 He said also to me, You shall again see yet other great
abominations which they do.
008:014 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yahweh's house
which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women
weeping for Tammuz.
008:015 Then said he to me, Have you seen [this], son of man? you
shall again see yet greater abominations than these.
008:016 He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh's house; and see,
at the door of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch
and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs
toward the temple of Yahweh, and their faces toward the east;
and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
008:017 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:
and behold, they put the branch to their nose.
008:018 Therefore will I also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare,
neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears
with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
009:001 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause you
them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man
with his destroying weapon in his hand.
009:002 Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate,
which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter
weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them
clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side.
