And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

And He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

Then He said to me, "Go in and see the wicked abominations that they are committing here."

And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of crawling things and animals and detestable things, with all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around.

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

Then He said to me, "Do you see, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each man in the rooms of his carved images? For they say, 'The LORD does not see us; the LORD has abandoned the land.'"

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

And He said to me, "Yet you will see still greater abominations which they are committing!"

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
