Ezekiel 8:7-12 Then he led me into the vestibule of the court,

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then he led me into the vestibule of the court, ⁸ and said to me, Son of man, dig. So I digged and lo! a door. ⁹ And he said to me, Go in and see the transgressions which they are committing here. ¹⁰ So I went in and beheld, and lo! vain abominations and all the idols of the house of Israel portrayed upon them round about ¹¹ and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and Jechonias the son of Saphan in the midst stood foremost, and every one had a censer in his hand, and the smoke of the incense ascended. ¹² And he said to me, Hast thou seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel are doing, every one of them in this hidden apartment of theirs? For they said, The Lord doth not see. The Lord hath forsaken this land.
