Judgment Against Idolatry
6 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, (B)set your face toward (C)the mountains of Israel, and (D)prophesy against them, 3 and say, (E)You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to (F)the mountains and (G)the hills, to (H)the ravines and the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, (I)and I will destroy your high places. 4 (J)Your altars shall become desolate, and your (K)incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain before your idols. 5 (L)And I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, (M)and I will scatter your bones around your altars. 6 Wherever you dwell, (N)the cities shall be waste and (O)the high places ruined, so that your altars will be waste and ruined,[a] your idols broken and destroyed, your (P)incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out. 7 And the slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
8 (Q)“Yet I will leave some of you alive. When you have among the nations (R)some who escape the sword, and when you are scattered through the countries, 9 then those of you who escape (S)will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how (T)I have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes (U)that go whoring after their idols. (V)And they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations. 10 And they shall know that I am the Lord. (W)I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”
11 Thus says the Lord God: (X)“Clap your hands (Y)and stamp your foot and say, Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, (Z)for they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. 12 (AA)He who is far off shall die of pestilence, and he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who is left and is preserved shall die of famine. (AB)Thus I will spend my fury upon them. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, (AC)when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, (AD)on every high hill, (AE)on all the mountaintops, (AF)under every green tree, and under (AG)every leafy oak, wherever (AH)they offered pleasing aroma to all their idols. 14 And (AI)I will stretch out my hand against them and (AJ)make the land desolate and waste, (AK)in all their dwelling places, from the wilderness to (AL)Riblah.[b] Then (AM)they will know that I am the Lord.”

Profetie tegen de bergen van Israël
6 Opnieuw kwam er een boodschap van de Here: 2 ‘Mensenzoon, kijk naar de bergen van Israël en profeteer tegen hen. 3 Zeg tegen hen: “Bergen van Israël, luister naar de boodschap van de Oppermachtige Here voor u en voor de rivieren en de dalen: Ik, de Here, zal oorlog over u brengen en uw afgoden vernietigen. 4,5 Uw heidense altaren zullen worden verwoest en uw wierookbranders verbrijzeld. Uw mensen zal Ik voor uw afgodsbeelden afslachten en hun lijken daar laten liggen. Hun beenderen zullen rond uw altaren worden gestrooid.
6 Overal waar u woont, zullen de steden verwoest en de offerplaatsen vernietigd worden. Uw altaren zullen verlaten zijn, uw afgodsbeelden en uw reukwerkbranders zullen verbrijzeld zijn. 7 Doden zullen er onder u vallen, zodat u zult erkennen dat Ik de Here ben. 8 Wel zal Ik een klein deel van mijn volk sparen en dat verspreiden onder de volken van de aarde. 9 En zij die onder de volken zijn verbannen, zullen aan Mij terugdenken en zich herinneren hoe zij met hun overspelige harten en hun liefde voor afgoden Mij hebben bedroefd. Dan zullen zij zich schamen over het kwaad dat zij hebben bedreven en over hun weerzinwekkende gedrag. 10 Dan zal hun duidelijk worden dat alleen Ik de Here ben en dat Ik niet voor niets heb gedreigd dat hun dit alles zou overkomen.
11 De Oppermachtige Here zegt: hef uw handen omhoog van afschuw en schud uw hoofd in diep berouw en zeg: wat hebben wij een goddeloze dingen gedaan! Want zij zullen omkomen door oorlog, honger en ziekten. 12 Ziekten zullen hen treffen die in ballingschap zijn. Oorlog zal hen vernietigen die in het land Israël blijven. En allen die het overleven, zullen sterven van de honger. Ik zal mijn toorn op hen loslaten. 13 Als hun doden verspreid liggen tussen de altaren en afgodsbeelden op de heuvels en bergen en onder alle groene bomen waar zij reukwerk aan hun afgoden offerden, dan zullen zij beseffen dat alleen Ik de Here ben.
14 Ik zal hard tegen u optreden en Ik zal u wegvagen en uw steden verwoesten, van de woestijn in het zuiden tot aan Ribla in het noorden. Dan zult u erkennen dat Ik de Here ben.”’

Doom for the Mountains of Israel
6 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face(A) against the mountains(B) of Israel; prophesy against them(C) 3 and say: ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys:(D) I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.(E) 4 Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars(F) will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.(G) 5 I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones(H) around your altars.(I) 6 Wherever you live,(J) the towns will be laid waste and the high places(K) demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols(L) smashed and ruined, your incense altars(M) broken down, and what you have made wiped out.(N) 7 Your people will fall slain(O) among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(P)
8 “‘But I will spare some, for some of you will escape(Q) the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.(R) 9 Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember(S) me—how I have been grieved(T) by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols.(U) They will loathe themselves for the evil(V) they have done and for all their detestable practices.(W) 10 And they will know that I am the Lord;(X) I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.(Y)
11 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.(Z) 12 One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out my wrath(AA) on them.(AB) 13 And they will know that I am the Lord, when their people lie slain among their idols(AC) around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak(AD)—places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.(AE) 14 And I will stretch out my hand(AF) against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah[a]—wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AG)’”
