Ezekiel
Chapter Six
1 And the word of Jehovah
came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto
them,
3 and 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.
4 And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken;
and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 And 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 In 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.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am
Jehovah.
8 Yet 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.
9 And 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.
10 And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would
do this evil unto them.
11 Thus 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.
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 wrath upon them.
13 And 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.
14 And 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.
