4. There in front of me was the glory of the God of Israel. It looked just as it did in the vision I had seen on the flatlands.
5. Then the Lord said to me, "Son of man, look toward the north." So I did. I saw a statue that made God angry. It was in the entrance of the gate north of the altar.
6. He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the people of Israel are doing here? They are doing things I hate very much. Those things will cause me to go far away from my temple. But you will see things I hate even more."
7. Then he brought me to the entrance to the courtyard. I looked up and saw a hole in the wall.
