Ezekiel 8:17

Then said he unto me Hast thou seen O son of man? Is it too small a thing for the house of Judah, to be committing the abominations which they have committed here,—that they have filled the land with violence and have again provoked me to anger and there they are! putting the branch to my nose.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O 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 returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

18Therefore even I, will act with indignation, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity,— Though they have cried in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
