Ezekiel 8:5-7

The Message

⁵ He said to me, “Son of man, look north.” I looked north and saw it: Just north of the entrance loomed the altar of the sex goddess, Asherah, that makes God so angry.

⁶ Then he said, “Son of man, do you see what they’re doing? Outrageous obscenities! And doing them right here! It’s enough to drive me right out of my own Temple. But you’re going to see worse yet.”

⁷ He brought me to the door of the Temple court. I looked and saw a gaping hole in the wall.
