Ezekiel 8:5 in Context — Ezekiel 8

3 Y aquella semejanza extendió la mano, y tomóme por las guedejas de mi cabeza; y el espíritu me alzó entre el cielo y la tierra, y llevóme en visiones de Dios á Jerusalem, á la entrada de la puerta de adentro que mira hacia el aquilón, donde estaba la habitación de la imagen del celo, la que hacía celar.

4 Y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria del Dios de Israel, como la visión que yo había visto en el campo.

5 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, alza ahora tus ojos hacia el lado del aquilón. Y alcé mis ojos hacia el lado del aquilón, y he aquí al aquilón, junto á la puerta del altar, la imagen del celo en la entrada.

6 Díjome entonces: Hijo del hombre, ¿no ves lo que éstos hacen, las grandes abominaciones que la casa de Israel hace aquí, para alejarme de mi santuario? Mas vuélvete aún, y verás abominaciones mayores.

7 Y llevóme á la entrada del atrio, y miré, y he aquí en la pared un agujero.
