Contextual Overview

7 Then he brought me to the entry of the courtyard. When I looked, I saw a hole in the wall. 8 He said to me, "Human, dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall and saw an entrance. 9 Then he said to me, "Go in and see the hateful, evil things they are doing here." 10 So I entered and looked, and I saw every kind of crawling thing and hateful beast and all the idols of the people of Israel, carved on the wall all around. 11 Standing in front of these carvings and idols were seventy of the elders of Israel and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. Each man had his pan for burning incense in his hand, and a sweet-smelling cloud of incense was rising. 12 Then he said to me, "Human, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the dark? Have you seen each man in the room of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord doesn't see us. The Lord has left the land.'"
