Ezekiel 6:1-7
1599 Geneva Bible
6 He showeth that Jerusalem shall be destroyed for their idolatry. 8 He prophesieth the repentance of the remnant of the people, and their deliverance.
1 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, Set thy face towards the (A)mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: thus saith the Lord God to the [a]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:
4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images of the [b]Sun shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their [c]idols, and I will (B)scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be desolate, and the high places shall be laid waste, so that your altars shall be made waste and desolate, and your idols shall be broken and cease, and your images of the Sun shall be cut in pieces, and your works shall be abolished.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
