Each had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense was rising. 12 Then He said to me, 'Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each in the chamber of his carved images?

Is it a trivial thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence and continually anger Me. Behold, they are even putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will act in wrath. My eye will not spare, nor will I have compassion. Even though they cry out loudly in My ears, I will not hear them.'
