Ezekiel 8:5-6
New English Translation
5 He said to me, “Son of man, look up toward[a] the north.” So I looked up toward the north, and I noticed to the north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy at the entrance.
6 He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the people[b] of Israel are practicing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see greater abominations than these!”

Ezekiel 8:5-6
International Standard Version
5 Then he told me, “Son of Man, look up toward the north.”

6 Then the Spirit[a] told me, “Son of Man, don’t you see what they’re doing? The house of Israel practices awful, detestable things here, so I’m going far away from my sanctuary. But you’re about to see things even more detestable than these.”
