Ezekiel 8

Gen Z: Ezekiel 8

1So, like, in the sixth year, sixth month, fifth day, I was chilling at my crib with the elders of Judah, and boom, the Lord's hand hit me with some serious vibes.

2I peeped, and it was like fire vibes: fire from the waist down, and from the waist up, it was all bright and amber-like, no cap.

3Then He reached out a hand, grabbed my hair, and lifted me up between earth and heaven, bringing me to God’s visions in Jerusalem, right at the inner gate looking north, where the jealousy image was chilling.

4And for real, the glory of the God of Israel was there, just like I saw in the vision on the plain, straight fire.

5He was like, "Yo, son of man, check out the north." So I looked north and saw that jealousy image at the altar gate entrance, it was sus.

6He asked me, "Son of man, you see what they’re doing? All these savage abominations Israel's pulling here? Like, am I just gonna chill far from my sanctuary? Look again, it gets wilder."

7He took me to the court door, and when I glanced, I saw a hole in the wall, lowkey interesting.

8Then He told me, "Yo, son of man, dig in that wall." So I dug, and guess what? A door appeared, lit.

9He said, "Go in and peep the wicked abominations they’re doing here."

10I stepped in and saw all sorts of creepy things, nasty beasts, and idols of Israel painted all over the walls, total chaos.

11There were seventy old-school dudes from Israel’s house chilling, and Jaazaniah, Shaphan's son, was there with a censer, and a thick cloud of incense was rising, vibes.

12Then He asked me, "Son of man, you seen what the old heads do in the dark, each in their secret spots? They think the Lord’s not watching and that He’s ghosted the earth."

13He told me again, "Look again, you’ll see even crazier abominations they're up to."

14Then He took me to the gate of the Lord's house facing north, and I saw women crying for Tammuz, total feels.

15He asked, "You seen this, son of man? Look again, you’ll catch even more savage stuff than this."

16He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and at the temple door, between the porch and altar, there were about twenty-five dudes with their backs to the temple, worshipping the sun towards the east, major sus vibes.

17Then He said, "You seen this, son of man? Is it chill for Judah to do all these abominations? They’ve filled the land with violence and made me mad, like, they’re putting branches to their noses, fr."

18So I’m about to deal with some fury: I won’t hold back, no pity. Even if they scream in my ears, I won’t hear them, periodt.

KJV: Ezekiel 8

1And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.

2Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

3And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

4And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

7And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

8Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

9And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

10So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

11And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

12Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

13He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

17Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

18Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
