Ezekiel 8

எசேக்கியேல் 8

In the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the Lord GOD’s hand fell on me there. Ezk 20:1Ezk 1:2-3Ezk 14:1Ezk 33:31Ezk 14:4Act 20:33Ezk 24:1Ezk 26:1 Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire—from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire, and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal. Ezk 1:4Ezk 1:26-27Dan 7:9-10Rev 1:14-15 He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy. Deu 32:16Ezk 11:1Deu 5:9Ezk 5:11Dan 5:5Deu 32:21Deu 4:24Deu 6:15 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain. Ezk 3:22-23Ezk 1:26-282Co 3:182Co 4:4-6Exo 25:22Exo 40:34-35Ezk 10:1-4Ezk 11:22-23

Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north.” Ezk 8:3Jer 3:2Jer 32:34Psa 48:2Psa 78:58Zec 5:5-11

So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.” Ezk 5:11Ezk 10:19Ezk 8:92Ch 36:14-172Ki 23:4-6Deu 31:16-18Ezk 11:22Ezk 23:38-39

He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. 1Ki 7:122Ki 21:5 Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” Isa 29:15Amo 9:2-3Job 34:22Jer 2:34Jer 23:24

When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.

He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.” Ezk 20:8

So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall. Exo 20:4Rom 1:23Jer 16:18Deu 14:3Deu 14:7-8Deu 4:18Isa 57:6-10Jer 2:26-27 Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up. Num 11:16Num 16:17Num 16:35Exo 24:1Jer 19:1Num 11:252Ch 26:162Ch 26:19

Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, ‘The LORD doesn’t see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.’” Isa 29:15Ezk 9:9Ezk 8:15Eph 5:12Jhn 3:19-20Psa 10:11Ezk 8:17Ezk 8:6-8 He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.” Ezk 8:6Ezk 8:15Jer 9:32Ti 3:13

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz. Ezk 44:4Ezk 46:9 Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.” 2Ti 3:13Ezk 8:12-13Ezk 8:6Ezk 8:9

He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and I saw at the door of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the LORD’s temple and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east. Deu 4:19Deu 17:3Jer 32:33Ezk 11:1Jer 2:27Job 31:26-28Ezk 43:5Jol 2:17

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. Behold, they put the branch to their nose. Ezk 9:9Ezk 7:23Jer 6:7Mic 2:2Zep 1:92Ki 21:162Ki 24:4Amo 3:10 Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.” Mic 3:4Isa 1:15Jer 11:11Zec 7:13Ezk 7:4-9Ezk 9:10Jdg 10:13-14Luk 13:25
