7:17. All hands shall be made feeble, and all knees shall run with
water.
7:18. And they shall gird themselves with haircloth, and fear shall
cover them and shame shall be upon every face, and baldness upon all
their heads.
7:19. Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a
dunghill. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them
in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul,
and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the
stumblingblock of their iniquity.
7:20. And they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and
have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I
have made it an uncleanness to them.
7:21. And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to
the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it.
7:22. And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my
secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Secret place, etc... Viz., the inward sanctuary, the holy of holies.
7:23. Make a shutting up: for the land is full of the judgment of
blood, and the city is full of iniquity.

their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they
shall possess their sanctuary.
7:25. When distress cometh upon them, they will seek for peace and there
shall be none.
7:26. Trouble shall come upon trouble, and rumour upon rumour, and they
shall seek a vision of the prophet, and the law shall perish from the
priest, and counsel from the ancients.
7:27. The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with sorrow,
and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to
them according to their way, and will judge them according to their
judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezechiel Chapter 8
The prophet sees in a vision the abominations committed in Jerusalem;
which determine the Lord to spare them no longer.
8:1. And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the
fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda
sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
8:2. And I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from
the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and
upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance of amber.
8:3. And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of
my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven,
and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate,
that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to
provoke to jealousy.
8:4. And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to
the vision which I had seen in the plain.
8:5. And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of
the north, and I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and
behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy
in the very entry.
8:6. And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what
these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel
committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and
turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations.
8:7. And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and
behold a hole in the wall.
