Ezekiel 8:13-16 GNB Then the LORD   ( ) said to me, "You are going to see them do even more disgusting things than that." (14) So he took me to the north gate of the Temple and showed me women weeping over the death of the god Tammuz. (15) He asked, "Mortal man, do you see that? You will see even more disgusting things." (16) So he took me to the inner courtyard of the Temple. There near the entrance of the sanctuary, between the altar and the porch, were about twenty-five men. They had turned their backs to the sanctuary and were bowing low toward the east, worshiping the rising sun.

You will see still greater abominations than these." (16) And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD  ( יהוה ).

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
