And he said unto me, go in
Into the room or chamber the door opened into: and behold the wicked abominations they do here;

Ezekiel 8:9 In-Context

7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he to me, "Son of man, dig in the wall"; and when I dug in the wall, lo, there was a door.
9 And he said to me, "Go in, and see the vile abominations that they are committing here."
10 So I went in and saw; and there, portrayed upon the wall round about, were all kinds of creeping things, and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel.
11 And before them stood seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, with Ja-azani'ah the son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and the smoke of the cloud of incense went up.
