Ezekiel 8:5

³He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

²“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.

⁵Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”

⁶I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah^[+] that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—

⁷and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent^[+] was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah^8[+] He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.

⁹Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky. ¹⁰Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

¹¹He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

⁵⁸For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

³⁴But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
