Jis klausė: “Žmogaus sūnau, ar matai, ką Izraelio vyresnieji tamsoje daro prie stabų piešinių? Jie sako: ‘Viešpats paliko kraštą, Jis nemato mūsų’ ”.

131. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 8
Profanation of what is holy. (3)
1-2 The Lord is represented in respect to Divine love, (1)
3 and it is shown how the holy of the Word has been profaned, (3, 17)
5-6 namely, that they have separated themselves from the holy of the worship of the church. (3, 17)
7-10 Diabolical loves have perverted the lowest sense of the Word. (3)
11-12 They have instituted a worship in accordance with those loves, (3)
13-14 by adulterating all things of good, (3, 8)
15-16 and adoring the devil in place of the Lord. (3)
17-18 They have closed against themselves the way to all mercy. (3)
17
Then he said to me, Have you seen [this], son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and behold, they put the branch to their nose.
18
Therefore will I also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
