Ezekiel 8:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 8.
7 Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 “Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
9 Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
10 So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
11 Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
12 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
13 Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”
14 Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.
15 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
