Contextual Overview

7 He brought me to the entrance of the courtyard; and when I looked, I saw a hole in the wall. 8 He said to me, "Human being, dig into the wall." After digging in the wall, I saw a door. 9 "Go in," he said, "and see the wicked practices they are engaged in here." 10 So I went in and looked, and there, carved on the walls all around, were every kind of reptile and repulsive animal, along with all the idols of the house of Isra'el. 11 Standing in front of them were seventy of the leading men of the house of Isra'el — in the center stood Ya'azanyahu the son of Shafan. Each man had his incense-burner in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12 Then he said to me, "Human being, did you see what the leaders of the house of Isra'el are doing in the dark, each one in the room of his own carved image, because they say, ‘ Adonai can't see us; Adonai has left the land.'?"
