Ezekiel 6:1-7

New American Standard Bible

Idolatrous Worship Denounced

6 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, set your face toward the ^(A)mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them ³ and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord ^[a]God! This is what the Lord ^[b]God says to the mountains, the hills, the ravines, and the valleys: “Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword against you, and ^(B)I will destroy your high places. ⁴ So your ^(C)altars will become deserted and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols. ⁵ I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your ^(D)bones around your altars. ^6 [c]Everywhere you live, ^(E)cities will be in ruins and the high places will be deserted, so that your altars will be in ruins and ^[d]deserted, your ^(F)idols will be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars will be cut down, and your works wiped out. ⁷ The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
