menu_book Verse in Context

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

8 Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.

9 He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.”

10 So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.

11 Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
