Ezekiel 8:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ God asked me, “Can you believe what these women are doing? But now I want to show you something even worse.”

¹⁶ I was then led into the temple's inner courtyard, where I saw about 25 men standing near the entrance, between the porch and the altar. Their backs were to the Lord's temple, and they were bowing down to the rising sun.

¹⁷ God said, “Ezekiel, it's bad enough that the people of Judah are doing these disgusting things. But they have also spread violence and injustice everywhere in Israel and have made me very angry. They have disgraced and insulted me in the worst possible way.^[a]
