EZEKIEL ยท Chapter 6
6:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
6:2 Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy
against them,
6:3 And say, All of you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus says 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.
6:4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken:
and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
6:5 And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before
their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6:6 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 images
may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and all of you shall
know that I am the LORD.
6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that all of you may have some that
shall escape the sword among the nations, when all of you shall be scattered
through the countries.
6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations
where they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish
heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring
after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which
they have committed in all their abominations.
6:10 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.
6:11 Thus says the Lord GOD; Strike with your hand, and stamp with
your 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.
6:12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is
near shall fall by the sword; and he that remains and is besieged shall
die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
6:13 Then shall all of you 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.
6:14 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.
