For they are saying,‘ The LORD does not see us. The LORD has abandoned the land.’”Again he said to me,“ You will see even more detestable acts that they are committing.”Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the LORD’s house, and I saw women sitting there weeping for Tammuz.And he said to me,“ Do you see this, son of man? You will see even more detestable acts than these.”So he brought me to the inner court of the LORD’s house, and there were about twenty-five men at the entrance of the LORD’s temple, between the portico and the altar, with their backs to the LORD’s temple and their faces turned to the east. They were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.And he said to me,“ Do you see this, son of man? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the detestable acts they are doing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and repeatedly anger me, even putting the branch to their nose?Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not show pity or spare them. Though they call loudly in my hearing, I will not listen to them.”
