Ezekiel 8:5

---

← Ezekiel 8:4	Ezekiel 8:5 (KJV)	Ezekiel 8:6 →
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.	Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.	He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.
