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.

神对我说：“人子啊，你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，见祭坛门的北边，在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像；

上帝对我说：“人子啊，你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，看哪，祭坛门北边的门口有那惹动妒忌的偶像。

神对我说：“人子啊，你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，看哪，祭坛门北边的门口有那惹动妒忌的偶像。

祂对我说：“人子啊，你举目北望。”于是，我举目朝北一望，见在祭坛门的北面有惹耶和华愤恨的神像。

他对我说：“人子啊！举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，见祭坛门的北面，在入口的地方，有令神愤恨的偶像。

神對我說：「人子啊，你舉目向北觀看。」我就舉目向北觀看，見祭壇門的北邊，在門口有這惹忌邪的偶像；

上帝對我說：「人子啊，你舉目向北觀看。」我就舉目向北觀看，看哪，祭壇門北邊的門口有那惹動妒忌的偶像。

神對我說：「人子啊，你舉目向北觀看。」我就舉目向北觀看，看哪，祭壇門北邊的門口有那惹動妒忌的偶像。

祂對我說：「人子啊，你舉目北望。」於是，我舉目朝北一望，見在祭壇門的北面有惹耶和華憤恨的神像。

他對我說：“人子啊！舉目向北觀看。”我就舉目向北觀看，見祭壇門的北面，在入口的地方，有令神憤恨的偶像。

上帝對我說：『人子啊，你舉目向北。』我就舉目向北，便見祭壇門北邊，出入處那裏有這惹主妒憤的雕像！

彼諭我曰、人子歟、爾其舉目北望、我則舉目北望、見壇門之北、有致忌之像在內、

彼諭我曰、人子、北向而瞻望、我見、北方、祭壇門內有偶像、是上帝所不容以匹己者、

主諭我曰、人子、爾舉目向北而觀、我遂舉目而觀、見在北方、在祭臺之門、在門際、有彼激主怒之偶像、

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol of jealousy.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the altar gate, in the entrance, was this image of jealousy.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and there to the north, beside the entrance to the gate near the altar, stood the idol that had made the Lord so jealous.

The LORD said to me,“ Son of man, look toward the north.” I looked to the north, and there was this offensive statue north of the Altar Gate, at the entrance.

Then He said to me,“ Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north.” So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

Then He said to me,“ Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, look toward the north.” I looked to the north, and there was this offensive statue north of the altar gate, at the entrance.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

He said to me,“ Son of man, look up toward the north.” So I looked up toward the north, and I noticed to the north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy at the entrance.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

He reached out what appeared to be a hand. He took hold of me by the hair of my head. The Spirit of the Lord lifted me up between earth and heaven. In visions God gave me, the Spirit took me to Jerusalem. He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the inner courtyard. The statue of a god was standing there. It made God very angry.

“ Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there any place where you have not worshiped other gods? You have been unfaithful to me like a wife committing adultery. By the side of the road you sat waiting for lovers. You sat there like someone who wanders in the desert. You have made the land impure. You are like a sinful prostitute.

They made God angry by going to their high places. They made him jealous by worshiping the statues of their gods.

Then the angel who was talking with me came forward. He said to me,“ Look at what is coming.”“ What is it?” I asked.“ A basket,” he replied.“ The sins of the people all through the land are in it.”Then the basket’s cover was lifted up. It was made out of lead. A woman was sitting in the basket!The angel said,“ She stands for everything that is evil.” Then he pushed her down into the basket. He put the lead cover back over it.I looked up and saw two other women. They had wings like the wings of a stork. A wind sent by the Lord carried them along. They lifted the basket up between heaven and earth.“ Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel.He replied,“ To the country of Babylon. A temple will be built for it. When the temple is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

They set up the hateful statues of their gods. They did it in the house where I have put my Name. They made my house‘ unclean.’

Mount Zion is high and beautiful. It brings joy to everyone on earth. Mount Zion is like the highest parts of Mount Zaphon. It is the city of the Great King.
