Ezekiel 8:11
Compare all
9 And He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there.”
10 So I went in and saw, and there—every asort of bcreeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,1 portrayed all around on the walls.  
11 And there stood before them aseventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.  
12 Then He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, a‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’ ”  
13 And He said to me, “Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing.”
14 So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the Lord’s house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for1 Tammuz.  
15 Then He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.”
16 So He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house; and there, at the door of the temple of the Lord, abetween the porch and the altar, bwere about twenty-five men cwith their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping dthe sun toward the east.  
17 And He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have afilled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.  
18 aTherefore I also will act in fury. My beye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they ccry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
