The Book of Ezekiel
6:1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 6:2Son of man, set thy face
toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them, 6:3and say, Ye mountains
of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the
mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even
I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. 6:4And your
altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast
down your slain men before your idols. 6:5And I will lay the dead bodies of the
children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about
your altars. 6:6In all your dwelling-places 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 sun-images may be hewn down,
and your works may be abolished. 6:7And the slain shall fall in the midst of you,
and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 6:8Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall
have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered
through the countries. 6:9And those of you that escape shall remember me among
the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken
with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with they eyes, which
play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight
for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 6:10And they
shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil
unto them. 6:11Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with
thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel;
for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 6:12He 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 wrath upon them. 6:13And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain
men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on
all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick
oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols. 6:14And I will
stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the
wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know
that I am Jehovah.
