⁷ Then he brought me to the court entrance. When I looked, I saw a hole in the wall. ⁸ He said to me: Human one, dig through the wall. So I dug through the wall, and I discovered a doorway. ⁹ And he said to me: Go in and see what wicked and detestable things they are doing in there. ¹⁰ So I went in and looked, and I saw every form of loathsome beasts and creeping things and all the idols of the house of Israel engraved on the walls all around. ¹¹ The seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing in front of them, and all of them were holding censers in their hands. Jaazaniah, Shaphan’s son, was standing right there with them, and the scent of the incense cloud rose up. ¹² He said to me: Human one, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every one of them in their rooms full of sculptured images? They say, “The Lord doesn’t see us; the Lord has abandoned the land.” ¹³ He said to me: You will see them performing even more detestable practices.
