11 “Thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Strike your hands together, (A)stamp your foot and say, “(B)Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by the (C)sword, by the famine, and by the plague! 12 He who is (D)far off will die by the plague, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus will I (E)spend My wrath on them. 13 Then you will know that I am Yahweh when their (F)slain are among their idols all around their altars, on (G)every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every leafy oak—the places where they [a]offered a soothing aroma to all their idols. 14 So throughout all their habitations I will (H)stretch out My hand against them and make the land more desolate and desecrated than the wilderness toward Diblah; thus they will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

  1. Ezekiel 6:13 Lit gave

11 The Lord God proclaims: Clap your hands, stamp your feet, and cry “Horror” over all the detestable practices of the house of Israel. They will fall by the sword, famine, and plague. 12 Whoever is far off will die of plague, whoever is nearby will fall to the sword, and whoever finds refuge will die of famine. I’ll satisfy my wrath against them! 13 They will know that I am the Lord when their slain appear among their idols and around their altars, wherever they offered up pleasing aromas for all their idols, on every high hill and mountaintop, and under every lofty tree and leafy oak. 14 Wherever they live, I will direct my power against them. I will turn the land into a greater wasteland than the Riblah desert. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
