OET (OET-RV) Then he asked me, “Son of humanity, do you see what the Israeli elders are doing in the dark? Each one does this in his idol’s hidden room, because they say, ‘Yahweh doesn’t even notice us. Yahweh’s abandoned this country.’ ”

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. Alternate translation: [the Israelites] or [the Israelite people group]
