Ezekiel 8:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ So I went in and looked. The walls were covered with drawings of snakes and other unclean animals,^[a] and of the other things which the Israelites were worshiping. ¹¹ Seventy Israelite leaders were there, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. Each one was holding an incense burner, and smoke was rising from the incense. ¹² God asked me, “Mortal man, do you see what the Israelite leaders are doing in secret? They are all worshiping in a room full of images. Their excuse is: ‘The Lord doesn't see us! He has abandoned the country.’”
