do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark?
God is commanding Ezekiel to look at what the elders are doing. AT: "look at what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
the house of Israel
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 3:1. AT: "the Israelites" or "the Israelite people group" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
the hidden chamber of his idol
"the room where no one can see him worship his idol"
