Ezekiel 6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Prophecy against Israel’s Idolatry
6 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, turn your face toward the mountains of Israel(A) and prophesy against them. 3 You are to say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.(B) 4 Your altars will be desolated and your incense altars smashed. I will throw down your slain in front of your idols. 5 I will lay the corpses of the Israelites in front of their idols and scatter your bones around your altars. 6 Wherever you live the cities will be in ruins and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars will lie in ruins and be desecrated,[a] your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out. 7 The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
8 “Yet I will leave a remnant when you are scattered among the nations, for throughout the countries there will be some of you who will escape the sword.(C) 9 Then your survivors will remember Me among the nations where they are taken captive,(D) how I was crushed by their promiscuous hearts that turned away from Me and by their eyes that lusted after their idols.(E) They will loathe themselves because of the evil things they did,(F) their detestable practices of every kind. 10 And they will know that I am the Lord; I did not threaten to bring this disaster on them without a reason.
Lament over the Fall of Jerusalem
11 “This is what the Lord God says: Clap your hands, stamp your feet,(G) and cry out over all the evil and detestable practices of the house of Israel, who will fall by the sword, famine, and plague.(H) 12 The one who is far off will die by plague; the one who is near will fall by the sword; and the one who remains and is spared[b] will die of famine. In this way I will exhaust My wrath on them.(I) 13 You will all know that I am Yahweh when their slain lie among their idols around their altars,(J) on every high hill,(K) on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and every leafy oak—the places where they offered pleasing aromas to all their idols. 14 I will stretch out My hand against them,(L) and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah.[c] Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”

Avgudarna ska krossas
6 På nytt kom ett budskap från Herren:
2 Du människa, se ut över Israels berg och profetera mot dem.
3 Säg till dem: O, Israels berg, hör budskapet från Herren Gud till er och till floder och dalar. Jag, ja också jag, Herren, ska låta krig komma över er och förgöra era avgudar.
4-7 Alla era städer ska förstöras och brännas ner, och avgudarnas altaren ska överges. Era gudar ska krossas. Deras tillbedjares ben ska ligga utspridda runt varje altare. Då ska ni till slut förstå att jag är Herren.
8 Men jag ska låta några få av mitt folk komma undan för att sedan spridas bland världens nationer.
9 När de då befinner sig i landsflykt i olika länder, ska de komma ihåg mig. Jag ska göra dem förkrossade i sin trolöshet och ta bort deras kärlek till avgudar. Jag ska göra så att deras ögon, som varit tända av lust, inte längre far efter andra gudar. De ska till slut avsky sig själva för all sin ogudaktighet.
10 De kommer att inse att jag ensam är Gud och att jag inte bedrog dem, när jag talade om för dem att allt detta skulle hända.
11 Herren Gud säger: Visa öppet er ånger och bekänn allt det fruktansvärda ni gjort, för ni kommer att förgås genom krig, hungersnöd och epidemier.
12 Epidemier ska döda dem som är i landsflykt. Krig ska förgöra dem som är kvar i Israel, och den som möjligen överlever kommer att dö av hunger. På så sätt ska jag uttömma min vrede över er.
13 När era slagna ligger spridda bland avgudar och altaren på kullar och berg, under träd och lummiga ekar där de offrat rökelseoffer till sina gudar, då ska ni förstå att jag ensam är Gud.
14 Jag ska krossa er och göra era städer öde, från öknen i söder till Dibla i norr. Då ska ni förstå att jag är Herren.
Ezekiel 6
King James Version
6 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face toward the 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 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 shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; 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 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10 And they shall know that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
11 Thus saith the Lord God; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 Then shall ye know that I am the Lord, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
