Ezekiel 8:9 In-Context

7 He brought me to the door of the Temple court. I looked and saw a gaping hole in the wall.

8 He said, "Son of man, dig through the wall." I dug through the wall and came upon a door.

9 He said, "Now walk through the door and take a look at the obscenities they're engaging in."

10 I entered and looked. I couldn't believe my eyes: Painted all over the walls were pictures of reptiles and animals and monsters - the whole pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses - being worshiped by Israel.

11 In the middle of the room were seventy of the leaders of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in the middle. Each held his censer with the incense rising in a fragrant cloud.
