Ezekiel 6:1-7

Modern English Version

Judgment on Idolatrous Israel

6 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ² Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, ³ and say, 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: Pay attention. I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. ⁴ Your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken. And I will cast down your slain men before your idols. ⁵ I will lay the dead corpses of the sons of Israel before their idols. And I will scatter your bones all around your altars. ⁶ In all your dwelling places, the cities shall be laid waste and the high places shall be desolate so 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. ⁷ The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
