Ezekiel 8:12 in Context — Ezekiel 8
10 J’entrai, et je regardai; et voici, il y avait toutes sortes de figures de reptiles et de bêtes abominables, et toutes les idoles de la maison d’Israël, peintes sur la muraille tout autour.
11 Soixante-dix hommes des anciens de la maison d’Israël, au milieu desquels était Jaazania, fils de Schaphan, se tenaient devant ces idoles, chacun l’encensoir à la main, et il s’élevait une épaisse nuée d’encens.
12 Et il me dit: Fils de l’homme, vois-tu ce que font dans les ténèbres les anciens de la maison d’Israël, chacun dans sa chambre pleine de figures? Car ils disent: L’Éternel ne nous voit pas, l’Éternel a abandonné le pays.
13 Et il me dit: Tu verras encore d’autres grandes abominations qu’ils commettent.
14 Et il me conduisit à l’entrée de la porte de la maison de l’Éternel, du côté du septentrion. Et voici, il y avait là des femmes assises, qui pleuraient Thammuz.
