Ezekiel 8:16 in Context — Ezekiel 8
14 Y llevóme á la entrada de la puerta de la casa de Jehová, que está al aquilón; y he aquí mujeres que estaban allí sentadas endechando á Tammuz.
15 Luego me dijo: ¿No ves, hijo del hombre? Vuélvete aún, verás abominaciones mayores que éstas.
16 Y metióme en el atrio de adentro de la casa de Jehová: y he aquí junto á la entrada del templo de Jehová, entre la entrada y el altar, como veinticinco varones, sus espaldas [vueltas] al templo de Jehová y sus rostros al oriente, y encorvábanse al nacimiento del sol.
17 Y díjome: ¿No has visto, hijo del hombre? ¿Es cosa liviana para la casa de Judá hacer las abominaciones que hacen aquí? Después que han llenado la tierra de maldad, y se tornaron á irritarme, he aquí que ponen hedor á mis narices.
18 Pues también yo haré en mi furor; no perdonará mi ojo, ni tendré misericordia, y gritarán á mis oídos con gran voz, y no los oiré.
