Ezekiel 8:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Then the Lord said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I did. I saw a statue that made God angry. It was in the entrance of the gate north of the altar.

⁶ He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the Israelites are doing here? They are doing things I hate very much. Those things will cause me to go far away from my temple. But you will see things I hate even more.”

⁷ Then he brought me to the entrance to the courtyard. I looked up and saw a hole in the wall.
