Ezekiel 8:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Next he took me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, where women were sitting, weeping for Tammuz. ¹⁵ Then he said to me, “Son of man, do you see this? You will see even greater abominations than these.”

¹⁶ He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord. There, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, prostrating themselves toward the east before the rising sun.
