Ezekiel 8:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Then he brought me into the inner court of the Temple, and there at the door, between the porch and the bronze altar, were about twenty-five men standing with their backs to the Temple of the Lord, facing east, worshiping the sun!

¹⁷ “Have you seen this?” he asked. “Is it nothing to the people of Judah that they commit these terrible sins, leading the whole nation into idolatry, thumbing their noses at me and arousing my fury against them? ¹⁸ Therefore, I will deal with them in fury. I will neither pity nor spare. And though they scream for mercy, I will not listen.”
