15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
15 He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this."
15 Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? You will see still greater abominations than these."
15 He said, "Have you gotten an eyeful, son of man? You're going to see worse yet."
15 Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these."
15 "Have you seen this?" he asked. "But I will show you even more detestable sins than these!"

Commentary on Ezekiel 8:13-18
(Read Ezekiel 8:13-18)
The yearly lamenting for Tammuz was attended with infamous practices; and the worshippers of the sun here described, are supposed to have been priests. The Lord appeals to the prophet concerning the heinousness of the crime; "and lo, they put the branch to their nose," denoting some custom used by idolaters in honour of the idols they served. The more we examine human nature and our own hearts, the more abominations we shall discover; and the longer the believer searches himself, the more he will humble himself before God, and the more will he value the fountain open for sin, and seek to wash therein.
