Ezekiel 8:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Ezekiel 8:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 (A) and I saw something in the shape of a human.[a] This figure was like fire from the waist down, and it was bright as polished metal from the waist up. 3 It reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed my hair. Then in my vision the Lord's Spirit lifted me into the sky and carried me to Jerusalem.
The Spirit took me to the north gate of the temple's inner courtyard, where there was an idol that disgusted the Lord and made him furious. 4 (B) Then I saw the brightness of the glory of the God of Israel, just as I had seen it near the Chebar River.

2 I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man.[a] From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal.(A) 3 He stretched out what looked like a hand(B) and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up(C) between earth and heaven and in visions(D) of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court,(E) where the idol that provokes to jealousy(F) stood. 4 And there before me was the glory(G) of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.(H)
