Chap. VIII.
note
In an other vision the prophet seeth innumerable most abominable idolatries,
11. committed by al sortes of men, and wemen, 17. for which God wil
no longer spare them.
1 And it came to passe in note the sixt yeare, in the sixt moneth,
in the fifth of the moneth: I sate in my house, and
the ancients of Iuda sate before me, and the hand of our Lord
God fel there vpon me.
2 And I saw, and behold a similitude
as it were the resemblance of fire: from the resemblance of
his loynes, and downeward, fire: and from his loynes,
and vpward, as it were the resemblance of brightnes, as
the appearance of amber.
3 And the similitude of a hand
put forth tooke me by the lockes of my head: and the spirite
lifted me vp betwen the earth and the heauen, and brought
me into Ierusalem in the vision of God, beside the inner doore,
that looked to the North, where was set an idol of zele to
prouoke emulation.
4 And loe there the glorie of the God of
Israel according to the vision which I had seene in the filde.
5 And he said to me: Sonne of man, lift vp thine eyes to the
way of the North. And I lifted vp mine eyes to the way of the
North: and behold on the North of the porte of the altar the
idol of zele in the verie entrie.
6 And he said to me: Sonne
of man, doest thou see thinkest thou what these doe, the great
abominations, that the house of Israel doth here, that I may
depart far from my sanctuarie? and yet turning thou shalt see
greater abominations.
7 And he brought me into the doore
of the court: and I saw, and behold one hole in the wal.
8 And
-- --
he said to me: Sonne of man digge the wal. And when I had
digged the wal, there appered one doore.
9 And he said to
me: Goe in, and see the most wicked abominations, which
these doe here.
10 And being entered in I saw, and behold euerie
similitude of creeping creatures, and of beasts, abomination,
and al the idols of the house of Israel were painted in
the wal round about through out.
11 And seuentie men of the
ancients of the house of Israel, and Iezonias the sonne of Saphan
stood in the middes of them, that stood before the pictures:
and euerie one had a censar in his hand: and a vapour
of a clowde rose vp from the frankincense.
12 And he said to
me: Surely thou seest sonne of man what thinges the ancients
of the house of Israel, doe in darkenes, euerie one in the secret
of his chamber: for note they say: Our Lord seeth vs not, our
Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 And he said to me: Yet turning
thou shalt see greater abominations, which these doe.
14 And he brought me in by the doore of the gate of the house
of our Lord, which looked to the North: and behold their
wemen sate mourning for note Adonis.
15 And he said to me:
Surely thou hast senne ô sonne of man: yet turning thou shalt
see greater abominations then these.
16 And he brought me into
the inner court of the house of our Lord: and behold in the
doore of the temple of our Lord betwen the porch and the
altar, as it were fiue and twentie men hauing their backes
against the temple of our Lord, and their faces to the East: and
they adored toward the rising of the sunne.
17 And he said
to me: Surely thou hast sene ô sonne of man: why, is this a
light thing to the house of Iuda, that they should doe these
abominations, which they haue done here: because they replenishing
the land with iniquitie, are turned to prouoke me?
and behold they put a bough to their nosthrels.
18 Therfore I
also wil doe in my furie: mine eye shal not spare, neither wil
I haue mercie: and when they shal crie to mine eares with a
lowd voice, I wil not heare them.
