4 There I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
5 He said to me: Son of man, lift your eyes to the north! I looked to the north and there in the entry north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy.
6 He asked, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? Do you see the great abominations that the house of Israel is practicing here, so that I must depart from my sanctuary? You shall see even greater abominations!
7 Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard, and there I saw a hole in the wall.
8 Son of man, he ordered, dig through the wall. I dug through the wall—there was a doorway.
9 Go in, he said to me, and see the evil abominations they are doing here.
10 I went in and looked—figures of all kinds of creeping things and loathsome beasts, all the idols of the house of Israel, pictured around the wall.
