  8:1 ¶
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Judah{gr.Juda} were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me. |
|
8:1 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the sixth°
year,°
in the sixth°
[month], in the fifth°
[day] of the month,°
[as] I°
sat°°
in mine house,°
and the elders°
of Judah°
sat°°
before°
me, that the hand°
of Adonai°
Yahweh°
fell°°
there°
upon°
me. |
|
8:2
And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber. |
|
8:2
Then I beheld,°°
and lo°
a likeness°
as the appearance°
of fire:°
from the appearance°°
of his loins°
even downward,°
fire;°
and from his loins°°
even upward,°
as the appearance°
of brightness,°
as the colour°
of amber.° |
|
8:3
And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser. |
|
8:3
And he put forth°°
the form°
of an hand,°
and took°°
me by a lock°
of mine head;°
and the spirit°
lifted me up°°°
between°
the earth°
and the heaven,°
and brought°°
me in the visions°
of Elohim°
to Jerusalem,°
to°
the door°
of the inner°
gate°
that looketh°°
toward the north;°
where°°
[was] the seat°
of the image°
of jealousy,°
which provoketh to jealousy.°°° |
|
8:4
And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain. |
|
8:4
And, behold,°
the glory°
of the Elohim°
of Israel°
[was] there,°
according to the vision°
that°
I saw°°
in the plain.° |
|
8:5 ¶
And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate. |
|
8:5 ¶
Then said°°
he unto°
me, Son°
of man,°
lift up°°
thine eyes°
now°
the way°
toward the north.°
So I lifted up°°
mine eyes°
the way°
toward the north,°
and behold°
northward°°
at the gate°
of the altar°
this°
image°
of jealousy°
in the entry.° |
|
8:6
And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities. |
|
8:6
He said°°
furthermore unto°
me, Son°
of man,°
seest°°
thou°
what°
they°
do?°°
[even] the great°
abominations°
that°
the house°
of Israel°
committeth°°
here,°
that I should go far off°°
from°°
my sanctuary?°
but turn°°
thee yet again,°°
[and] thou shalt see°°
greater°
abominations.° |
|
8:7 ¶
And he brought me to the porch of the court. |
|
8:7 ¶
And he brought°°
me to°
the door°
of the court;°
and when I looked,°°
behold°
a°
hole°
in the wall.° |
|
8:8
And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door. |
|
8:8
Then said°°
he unto°
me, Son°
of man,°
dig°°
now°
in the wall:°
and when I had digged°°
in the wall,°
behold°
a°
door.° |
|
8:9
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here. |
|
8:9
And he said°°
unto°
me, Go in,°°
and behold°°°
the wicked°
abominations°
that°
they°
do°°
here.° |
|
8:10
So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about. |
|
8:10
So I went in°°
and saw;°°
and behold°
every°
form°
of creeping things,°
and abominable°
beasts,°
and all°
the idols°
of the house°
of Israel,°
pourtrayed°°
upon°
the wall°
round about.° |
|
8:11
And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jeconiah{gr.Jechonias} the son of Shaphan{gr.Saphan} stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up. |
|
8:11
And there stood°°
before°
them seventy°
men°
of the ancients°°
of the house°
of Israel,°
and in the midst°
of them stood°°
Jaazaniah°
the son°
of Shaphan,°
with every man°
his censer°
in his hand;°
and a thick°
cloud°
of incense°
went up.°° |
|
8:12
And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth. |
|
8:12
Then said°°
he unto°
me, Son°
of man,°
hast thou seen°°
what°
the ancients°
of the house°
of Israel°
do°°
in the dark,°
every man°
in the chambers°
of his imagery?°
for°
they say,°°
Yahweh°
seeth°°
us not;°
Yahweh°
hath forsaken°°°
the earth.° |
|
8:13 ¶
And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do. |
|
8:13 ¶
He said°°
also unto°
me, Turn°°
thee yet again,°°
[and] thou shalt see°°
greater°
abominations°
that°
they°
do.°° |
|
8:14
And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz. |
|
8:14
Then he brought°°
me to°
the door°
of the gate°
of Yahweh's°
house°
which°
[was] toward°
the north;°
and, behold,°
there°
sat°°
women°
weeping°°
for°
Tammuz.° |
|
8:15 ¶
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these. |
|
8:15 ¶
Then said°°
he unto°
me, Hast thou seen°°
[this], O son°
of man?°
turn°°
thee yet again,°°
[and] thou shalt see°°
greater°
abominations°
than these.°° |
|
8:16
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun. |
|
8:16
And he brought°°
me into°
the inner°
court°
of Yahweh's°
house,°
and, behold,°
at the door°
of the temple°
of Yahweh,°
between°
the porch°
and the altar,°
[were] about five°
and twenty°
men,°
with their backs°
toward°
the temple°
of Yahweh,°
and their faces°
toward the east;°
and they°
worshipped°°
the sun°
toward the east.° |
|
8:17 ¶
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Judah{gr.Juda} to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners. |
|
8:17 ¶
Then he said°°
unto°
me, Hast thou seen°°
[this], O son°
of man?°
Is it a light thing°°
to the house°
of Judah°
that they commit°°°°
the abominations°
which°
they commit°°
here?°
for°
they have filled°°°
the land°
with violence,°
and have returned°°
to provoke me to anger:°°
and, lo,°
they put°°°
the branch°
to°
their nose.° |
|
8:18
Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy. |
|
8:18
Therefore will I°
also°
deal°°
in fury:°
mine eye°
shall not°
spare,°°
neither°
will I have pity:°°
and though they cry°°
in mine ears°
with a loud°
voice,°
[yet] will I not°
hear°°
them. |
