Ezekiel 8:6-15

Leeser(i) 6 Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great abominations. 7 And he brought me to the door of the court: and I looked, and behold there was a hole in the wall. 8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, do break an opening in the wall: and I broke an opening in the wall, and, behold, there was a door. 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing here. 10 So I went in and saw; and behold there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all round about. 11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward. 12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth. 13 And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing. 14 And he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord’s house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz. 15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other greater abominations than these.
