6. The Lord said to me, “Human being, do you see what they are doing? Do you see how many hated things the people of Israel are doing here? This will drive me far away from my Temple. But you will see things more hated than these.”
7. Then the Lord brought me to the entry of the courtyard. When I looked, I saw a hole in the wall.
8. The Lord said to me, “Human being, dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and saw an entrance.
9. Then the Lord said to me, “Go in and see the terrible, evil things they are doing here.”
10. So I entered and looked. And I saw pictures of every kind of crawling thing. I saw awful beasts and all the idols of the people of Israel. They were carved on the wall all around.
11. Seventy of the elders of Israel were standing there. They were in front of these carvings and idols. Jaazaniah son of Shaphan stood with them. Each man had his pan for burning incense in his hand. A sweet-smelling cloud of incense was rising.
