Ezekiel 8:1-4
Christian Standard Bible
Visionary Journey to Jerusalem
8 In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting in front of me,(A) and there the hand of the Lord God came down on me.(B) 2 I looked, and there was someone who looked like a man.[a] From what seemed to be his waist down was fire, and from his waist up was something that looked bright,(C) like the gleam of amber.(D) 3 He stretched out what appeared to be a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God(E) to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner gate that faces north, where the offensive statue that provokes jealousy(F) was located. 4 I saw the glory of the God of Israel(G) there, like the vision I had seen in the plain.(H)

International Standard Version
The Vision of Jerusalem
8 In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I had just sat down in my house, with the elders of Judah seated in front of me. All of a sudden, the hand of the Lord God touched me 2 and I saw a likeness comparable to the appearance of a man. From his thighs downward there was the appearance of fire, and from his waist upward, there was the appearance of brightness that looked like brass.
3 The form of a hand reached out and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, brought me toward Jerusalem, and in visions that came from God took me through the doors of the inner gate that faced north, where an image that provoked God’s jealous anger had been erected.
4 All of a sudden, the glory of the God of Israel was there! It looked like what I had seen back in the valley.
