Ezekiel 6:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Your people will fall down dead among you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

⁸ “ ‘ “But I will spare some of you. Some will escape from being killed by swords. You will be scattered among other lands and nations. ⁹ You will be taken away to those nations as prisoners. Those of you who escape will remember me. You will recall how much pain your unfaithful hearts gave me. You turned away from me. Your eyes longed to see the statues of your gods. You will hate yourselves because of all the evil things you have done. I hate those things too.
