Ezekiel 8:16-18

Next he transported me to the north gate to the inner court of his temple. And there, at the entrance to YAHWEH’s sanctuary, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men standing with their faces to the east worshiping the sun with their backs to YAHWEH’s sanctuary. They bowed down to the east, before the rising sun. God said to me, “Son of man, do you see this? It is bad enough that the people of Judah are doing these despicable things, but they also spread violence throughout the land and provoke my anger further! Look at how they insult me in every possible way they can. Therefore, with wrath I will deal with them. I will show neither pity nor mercy. They can cry to me as loudly as they want, but I will not listen to them.”
