Ezekiel 8:7-12

7Then He brought me to the entrance of the courtyard; and when I looked, behold, [there was] a hole in the wall.

8He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” And when I had dug into the wall, behold, there was an entrance.

9And He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked, repulsive acts that they are committing here.”

10So I entered and looked, and saw every kind of creeping things and beasts and loathsome things, and all the idols of the house of Israel, carved all around on the wall.

11Standing before these [images] were seventy elders of the house of Israel, and among them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan [the scribe], each man with his censer in his hand and a thick and fragrant cloud of incense was rising [as they prayed to these gods].

12Then He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, each man in his [secret] room of carved images? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has abandoned the land.’ ”
