Ezekiel 8:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ So he took me to the north gate of the Temple and showed me women weeping over the death of the god Tammuz.^[a]

¹⁵ He asked, “Mortal man, do you see that? You will see even more disgusting things.” ¹⁶ So he took me to the inner courtyard of the Temple. There near the entrance of the sanctuary, between the altar and the porch, were about twenty-five men. They had turned their backs to the sanctuary and were bowing low toward the east, worshiping the rising sun.
