Ezekiel 8:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ God said to me, “Ezekiel, son of man, look north.” And when I did, I saw that repulsive idol by the altar near the gate.

⁶ God then said, “Do you see the terrible sins of the people of Israel? Their sins are making my holy temple unfit as a place to worship me. Yet you will see even worse things than this.”

⁷ Next, I was taken to the entrance of the courtyard, where I saw a hole in the wall.
