Ezekiel 6

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ²Son of man, ^aset thy face towards ^bthe mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, ^3bband say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God ^cto the mountains, and ^cto the hills, to ^cdthe rivers, and ^ceto the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and ^fI will destroy your high places. ⁴And your altars shall be desolate, and ^fyour images shall be broken: and ^fgI will cast down your slain men before your idols. ⁵And ^fI will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and ^gI ^hwill scatter your bones round about your altars. ⁶In all your dwelling places the cities ⁱshall be laid waste, and ^fthe high places ^gshall be desolate; that your altars ⁱmay be laid waste and ^jmade desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your ^kimages may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. ⁷And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, ^land ye shall know that I am the Lord.

^8mYet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have ⁿsome that shall escape the sword among the nations, ^owhen ye shall be scattered through the countries. ⁹And ⁿthey that escape of you ^mpshall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because ^qI am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and ^rwith their eyes, which ^sgo a whoring after their idols: and ^ptthey shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. ¹⁰And ^lthey shall know that I am the Lord, and that ^uI have not said ^vin vain that I would do this evil unto them.

¹¹Thus saith the Lord God; Smite ^wwith thine hand, and ^xstamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel: for ^ythey shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. ^12yHe 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: ^zthus will I accomplish my fury upon them. ¹³Then ^lshall ye know that I am the Lord, ^awhen their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, ^bupon every high hill, ^cin all the tops of the mountains, and ^bunder every green tree, and ^cunder every thick ^doak, the place where they did offer ^esweet savour to all their idols. ¹⁴So will I ^fstretch out mine hand upon them, and ^gmake the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness towards ⁱDiblath, ^kin all their habitations: ^land they shall know that I am the Lord.
