The Secret Idolatry of the Elders

Ezekiel 8:7-13

And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall;

and He saith unto me, `Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening.

And He saith to me, `Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.'

And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast--and all the Idols of the house of Israel--graved on the wall, all round about,

and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel--and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst--are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.

And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'

And He saith unto me, `Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.'
