11 “This is what the Lord [a]God says: ‘Clap your hands, (A)stamp your foot and say, “(B)Woe, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by the (C)sword, famine, and plague! 12 Anyone who is (D)far away will die by the plague, anyone who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who remains and is spared from these will die by the famine. So I will (E)expend My wrath on them. 13 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when their (F)dead are among their idols around their altars, on (G)every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every leafy tree and under every massive oak with thick branches—the places where they offered a soothing aroma to all their idols. 14 So through all their dwelling places I will (H)stretch out My hand against them and make the land more desolate and waste than the wilderness toward Diblah; so they will know that I am the Lord.”’”

  1. Ezekiel 6:11 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord

11 Thus says the Lord God: “Clap your hands, and stamp your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. 12 He that is far off shall die of pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is left and is preserved shall die of famine. Thus I will spend my fury upon them. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain lie among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the mountain tops, under every green tree, and under every leafy oak, wherever they offered pleasing odor to all their idols. 14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and make the land desolate and waste, throughout all their habitations, from the wilderness to Riblah.[a] Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
