Ezekiel 8:7-13

Ezekiel 8:7-13
7
He brought me to the entrance of the courtyard; and when I looked, I saw a hole in the wall.
8
He said to me, "Human being, dig into the wall." After digging in the wall, I saw a door.
9

Then he said to me, "Human being, did you see what the leaders of the house of Isra'el are doing in the dark, each one in the room of his own carved image, because they say, 'ADONAI can't see us; ADONAI has left the land.'?"
13
He also said to me, "You will see even worse abominations that they are doing."
