And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their ^(A)backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east; and ^(B)they were ^[a]prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun. ¹⁷ He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have ^(C)filled the land with violence and ^(D)provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.
