Ezekiel 8:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

¹⁶ And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun.

¹⁷ And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose.
