Ezekiel 8:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And he stretched out the likeness of an hand, and took me by an hairy lock of mine head, and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me [a]by a Divine [b]vision to Jerusalem, into the entry of the inner [c]gate that lieth toward the North, where remained the idol of [d]indignation, which provoked indignation.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there according to the vision, that I saw [e]in the field.
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now toward the North. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the North, and behold, Northward, at the gate of the [f]altar, this idol of indignation was in the entry.
