Ezekiel 8:3

---

← Ezekiel 8:2	Ezekiel 8:3 (KJV)	Ezekiel 8:4 →
Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.	And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
