Ezekiel 8:2-4

Amplified Bible

² Then I looked, and behold, a likeness [of a man] with the appearance of fire; from His ^[a]loins downward He was like fire, and from His loins upward He had the appearance of brightness, like gleaming metal (bronze). ³ He stretched out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of hair on my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner courtyard, where the seat of the idol (image) of ^[b]jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.^{(A) 4} And behold, the glory and brilliance of the God of Israel [who had loved and chosen them] was there, like the vision which I saw in the plain.^(B)
