Ezekiel 8:8-11 New English Translation (NET)

8. He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway.

9. He said to me, “Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”

10. So I went in and looked. I noticed every figure of creeping thing and beast – detestable images – and every idol of the house of Israel, engraved on the wall all around.

11. Seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel (with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them) were standing in front of them, each with a censer in his hand, and fragrant vapors from a cloud of incense were swirling upward.
