Ezekiel 8:7-13

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And he led me within to the door of the foreyard; and I saw, and lo! one hole in the wall. (And he led me within to the entrance of the courtyard; and I saw, and lo! a hole in the wall.)

⁸ And he said to me, Son of man, dig thou (in) the wall; and when I had digged (in) the wall, one door appeared.

⁹ And he said to me, Enter thou, and see the worst abominations, which these men do here.

¹⁰ And I entered, and saw; and lo! each likeness of reptiles, either creeping beasts, and abominations of beasts, and all [the] idols of the house of Israel, were painted in the wall all about in compass (were painted on the walls all around).

¹¹ And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood; and Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, stood in the midst of them, standing before the paintings; and each man had a censer in his hand, and the smoke of a cloud of incense went up.

¹² And he said to me, Certainly, son of man, thou seest what things the elder men of the house of Israel do in darknesses, each man in the hid place of his bed; for they say, The Lord seeth not us, the Lord hath forsaken the land (for they say, The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath abandoned the land/the Lord hath deserted the country).

¹³ And the Lord said to me, Yet thou shalt turn, and shalt see greater abominations, which these men do.
