Ezekiel 8:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Then I beheld, and lo, there was a likeness, as the appearance of [a]fire, to look to, from his loins downward, and from his loins upward, as the appearance of brightness, and like unto amber.
3 And he stretched out the likeness of an hand, and took me by an hairy lock of mine head, and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me [b]by a Divine [c]vision to Jerusalem, into the entry of the inner [d]gate that lieth toward the North, where remained the idol of [e]indignation, which provoked indignation.
4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there according to the vision, that I saw [f]in the field.

Ezekiel 8:2-4
New International Version
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)
