Ezekiel 8:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Inside, I saw that the walls were covered with pictures of reptiles and disgusting, unclean animals,^[a] as well as with idols that the Israelites were worshiping. ¹¹ Seventy Israelite leaders were standing there, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. Each of these leaders was holding an incense burner, and the smell of incense filled the room.

¹² God said, “Ezekiel, do you see what horrible things Israel's leaders are doing in secret? They have filled their rooms with idols. And they say I can't see them, because they think I have already deserted Israel.
