5 Then he said to me, ^j“Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of ^kthe altar gate, in the entrance, was this ^limage of jealousy. 6 And he said to me, “Son of man, ^mdo you see what they are doing, ⁿthe great abominations that the house of Israel are committing here, ^oto drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see still greater abominations.”

7 And he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall. 8 Then he said to me, “Son of man, ^pdig in the wall.” So I dug in the wall, and behold, there was an entrance. 9 And he said to me, “Go in, and see ^qthe vile abominations that they are committing here.” 10 So I went in and saw. And there, ^rengraved on the wall all around, was ^severy form of ^tcreeping things and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel. 11 And before them stood ^useventy men of ^vthe elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of ^wShaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and ^xthe smoke of the cloud of incense went up. 12 Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing ^yin the dark, each ^zin his room of pictures? For they say, ^aa‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 He said also to me, ^ab“You will see still greater abominations that they commit.”

14 Then he brought me to ^acthe entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
