And He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, so that I would be far from My sanctuary? But yet you will see still greater abominations.”

The people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things that you are doing mean for us?”

“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’

I am not doing this for your sake,” declares the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!”
