Ezekiel 8:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ He said to me: Human one, do you see? Yet you will see even more detestable practices than these. ¹⁶ He brought me to the inner court of the Lord’s temple. There, at the entrance to the Lord’s temple, between the porch and the altar, were twenty-five men facing toward the east with their backs to the Lord’s temple. They were bowing to the sun in the east. ¹⁷ He said to me: Do you see, human one? Isn’t it enough that the house of Judah has observed here all these detestable things? They have filled the land with violence, and they continue to provoke my fury. Look at them! They even put the branch to their noses!
