Ezekiel 8:12 in Context — Ezekiel 8

10 E entrei, e olhei, e eis toda figura de répteis, e animais abomináveis, e todos os ídolos da casa de Israel, que estavam pintados na parede ao redor.

11 E diante deles estavam setenta homens dos anciãos da casa de Israel, com Jazanias filho de Safã, que estava no meio deles, cada um com seu incensário em sua mão; e uma espessa nuvem de perfume subia.

12 Então me disse: Filho do homem, viste as coisas que os anciãos da casa de Israel fazem nas trevas, cada um em suas câmaras pintadas? Pois eles dizem: O SENHOR não nos vê; o SENHOR abandonou a terra.

13 E disse-me: Ainda voltarás a ver abominações maiores que estes fazem.

14 E me levou à entrada da porta da casa do SENHOR, que está ao lado norte; e eis ali mulheres que estavam sentadas, chorando a Tamuz.
