Ezekiel 8:9 In-Context

7 Then he brought me to the entrance to the courtyard. I looked up and saw a hole in the wall.

8 He said to me, "Son of man, dig into the wall." So I did. And I saw a door there.

9 He continued, "Go through it. Look at the evil things they are doing here. I hate those things."

10 So I went in and looked. All over the walls were pictures of all kinds of crawling things and other animals. The LORD hates it when people worship those things. There were also carvings of all of the gods of the people of Israel.

11 In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah was standing there among them. He is the son of Shaphan. Each elder was holding a shallow cup. A sweet-smelling cloud of incense was rising from the cups.
