“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.”
(Ezekiel 6:1-14 AV)
