Ezekiel 8:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord; there, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, prostrating themselves to the sun toward the east.(A) 17 Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, O mortal? Is it not bad enough that the house of Judah commits the abominations done here? Must they fill the land with violence and provoke my anger still further? See, they are putting the branch to their nose!(B) 18 Therefore I will act in wrath; my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity, and though they cry in my hearing with a loud voice, I will not listen to them.”(C)

16 And he brought me into (A)the inner court of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, (B)between the (C)porch and (D)the altar, were about twenty-five men, (E)with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, worshiping (F)the sun toward the east. 17 Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, O (G)son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit (H)the abominations that they commit here, that (I)they should fill the land with violence and (J)provoke me still further to anger? Behold, they put the branch to their[a] nose. 18 Therefore (K)I will act in wrath. (L)My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. (M)And though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”

Ezekiel 8:16-18
New International Version
16 He then brought me into the inner court(A) of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar,(B) were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun(C) in the east.(D)
17 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the people of Judah to do the detestable things(E) they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence(F) and continually arouse my anger?(G) Look at them putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will deal with them in anger;(H) I will not look on them with pity(I) or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen(J) to them.”
