Ezekiel 8:7-13
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And he caused me to enter at the gate of the court: and when I looked, behold, an hole was in the wall.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall. And when I had dug in the wall, behold, there was a door.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in, and saw, and behold, there was every similitude of creeping things, and [a]abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel painted upon the wall round about.
11 And there stood before them seventy [b]men of the Ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, with every man his censor in his hand, and the vapor of the incense went up like [c]a cloud.
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the Ancients of the house of Israel [d]do in the dark, everyone in the chamber of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 Again he said also unto me, Turn thee again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
