You will see even more detestable things.”Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked there was a hole in the wall.He said to me,“ Son of man, dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall, and there was a doorway.He said to me,“ Go in and see the terrible and detestable things they are committing here.”I went in and looked, and there engraved all around the wall was every form of detestable thing, crawling creatures and beasts, as well as all the idols of the house of Israel.Seventy elders from the house of Israel were standing before them, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a firepan in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising up.Then He said to me,“ Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his idol? For they are saying,‘ The Lord does not see us. The Lord has abandoned the land.’”Again He said to me,“ You will see even more detestable things, which they are committing.”So He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the Lord’s house, and I saw women sitting there weeping for Tammuz.And He said to me,“ Do you see this, son of man? You will see even more detestable things than these.”So He brought me to the inner court of the Lord’s house, and there were about 25 men at the entrance of the Lord’s temple, between the portico and the altar, with their backs to the Lord’s temple and their faces turned to the east. They were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
