Ezekiel 8:7-13

Modern English Version

⁷ Then He brought me to the door of the court. And when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. ⁸ So He said to me, “Son of man, now dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there was a door.

⁹ He said to me, “Enter and notice the wicked abominations that they do here.” ¹⁰ So I went in and saw every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall all around. ¹¹ There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.

¹² Then He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his images? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the land.’ ” ¹³ He also said to me, “Yet again you shall see greater abominations that they do.”
