¹⁶ Then He brought me into the inner court of the house of Yahweh. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their ^(A)backs to the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east; and ^(B)they were ^[a]prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun. ¹⁷ He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to do the abominations which they have done here, that they have ^(C)filled the land with violence and ^(D)provoked Me to anger still more? For behold, they are sending forth the twig to their nose. ¹⁸ Therefore, I also will do this in wrath: My eye will have no pity, nor will I spare; and ^(E)they will cry in My ears with a loud voice, yet I will not listen to them.”
