And he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall. Then he said to me, “Son of man, (A)dig in the wall.” So I dug in the wall, and behold, there was an entrance. And he said to me, “Go in, and see (B)the vile abominations that they are committing here.” 10 So I went in and saw. And there, (C)engraved on the wall all around, was (D)every form of (E)creeping things and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel. 11 And before them stood (F)seventy men of (G)the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of (H)Shaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and (I)the smoke of the 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 are doing (J)in the dark, each (K)in his room of pictures? For they say, (L)‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 He said also to me, (M)“You will see still greater abominations that they commit.”

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall. Then said he to me, “Son of man, dig in the wall”; and when I dug in the wall, lo, there was a door. And he said to me, “Go in, and see the vile abominations that they are committing here.” 10 So I went in and saw; and there, portrayed upon the wall round about, were all kinds of creeping things, and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel. 11 And before them stood seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, with Ja-azani′ah the son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and the smoke of the 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 are doing in the dark, every man in his room[a] of pictures? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 He said also to me, “You will see still greater abominations which they commit.”
