KJV ORIGINAL
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Then he brought me into the inner courtyard of God's house, and I couldn't believe what I saw — about twenty-five men standing right at the temple entrance, between the porch and the altar. They had literally turned their backs on God's temple and were facing east, worshipping the sun instead.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the religious leaders were turning their backs on God to chase other things.
