Ezek 6
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;
3
and you shall say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the
Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold,
I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.
4
And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will
cast down your slain men before your idols.
5
And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,
6
and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places
utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to
pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.
7
And slain men shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
8
When there are some of you escaping from the sword among the Gentiles, and when you
are scattered in the countries;
9
then they of you that escape among the nations where they were carried captive shall
remember me; (I have sworn an oath against their heart that goes a-whoring from me,
and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices;) and they shall mourn over
Gr. their faces, or, persons themselves for all their abominations.
10
Heb. and Alex. «and they shall know that I the Lord have not said in vain that I would
do all this evil to them.’ And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
11
Thus says the Lord; Or, make a noise Clap with your hand, and stamp with your foot and say, See Ps 35:21 Aha, aha! for all
the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the
sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.
12
He who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who is far off shall die by the pestilence;
and he who is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish mine
anger upon them.
13
Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols
round about your altars, on every high hill, and under every shady tree, where they
offered a sweet savour to all their idols.
14
And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and
ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: and you shall know
that I am the Lord.
