Ezekiel 6
1. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying * ,
2. Son of man, set * thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy * against them,
3. And say * , Ye mountains of Israel, hear * the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith * the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring * a sword upon you, and I will destroy * your high places.
4. And your altars shall be desolate * , and your images shall be broken * : and I will cast down * your slain men before your idols.
5. And I will lay * the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter * your bones round about your altars.
6. In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste * , and the high places shall be desolate * ; that your altars may be laid waste * and made desolate * , and your idols may be broken * and cease * , and your images may be cut down * , and your works may be abolished * .
7. And the slain shall fall * in the midst of you, and ye shall know * that I am the LORD.
8. Yet will I leave a remnant * , that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered * through the countries.
9. And they that escape of you shall remember * me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives * , because I am broken * with their whorish * heart, which hath departed * from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring * after their idols: and they shall lothe * themselves for the evils which they have committed * in all their abominations.
10. And they shall know * that I am the LORD, and that I have not said * in vain that I would do * this evil unto them.
11. Thus saith * the Lord GOD; Smite * with thine hand, and stamp * with thy foot, and say * , Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel ! for they shall fall * by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12. He that is far off shall die * of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall * by the sword; and he that remaineth * and is besieged * shall die * by the famine: thus will I accomplish * my fury upon them.
13. Then shall ye know * that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars,upon every high * hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer * sweet savour to all their idols.
14. So will I stretch out * my hand upon them, and make * the land desolate,yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know * that I am the LORD.
