Ezekiel 8:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Vision of Abominations in Jerusalem

8 It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord ^[a]God fell on me there. ² Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of ^[b]a man; from His loins and downward there was the ^(A)appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance ^(B)of ^[c]glowing metal. ³ He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the ^(C)Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the ^[d]north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which ^(D)provokes to jealousy, was located.
