Ezekiel 8-11

Two times in this passage Ezekiel names the people who are blatantly disobeying God. In 8:11 he witnesses Jaazaniah making incense offerings to the images he had drawn in the hidden places of the temple. In 11:2 Ezekiel mentions Jaazaniah and Pelatiah as those who plan iniquity among God's people. It took a lot of fortitude for Ezekiel to name these men. They may both have been relatives because of the proximity in the temple. If these events had been hidden from his sight earlier then the revelation shown to Ezekiel must have been shocking.
It took me about 14 minutes to read this passage.
