Ezekiel 8:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ There in front of me was the glory of the God of Israel. It looked just as it did in the vision I had seen on the plain.

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.”
