Ezekiel 8:9 In-Context

7 He took me to the entrance of the outer courtyard and showed me a hole in the wall.
8 He said, "Mortal man, break through the wall here." I broke through it and found a door.
9 He told me, "Go in and look at the evil, disgusting things they are doing there."
10 So I went in and looked. The walls were covered with drawings of snakes and other unclean animals, and of the other things which the Israelites were worshiping.
11 Seventy Israelite leaders were there, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. Each one was holding an incense burner, and smoke was rising from the incense.
