But you will see still greater abominations.”

And there, ^alengraved on the wall all around, was ^amevery form of ^ancreeping things and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel. 11 And before them stood ^aoseventy men of ^apthe elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of ^aqShaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and ^arthe smoke of the cloud of incense went up. 12 Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing ^asin the dark, each ^atin his room of pictures? For they say, ^au‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 He said also to me, ^av“You will see still greater abominations that they commit.”
