New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 7
21 I will give it into the hands of the foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it.
22 I will also turn My face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.
23 ’Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore, I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong ones cease, and their holy places will be profaned.
25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.
26 Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.
27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their conduct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’"
Ezekiel 8
1 It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell on me there.
2 Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal.
3 He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
