11 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Clap your hands in horror, and stamp your feet. Cry out because of all the detestable sins the people of Israel have committed. Now they are going to die from war and famine and disease. 12 Disease will strike down those who are far away in exile. War will destroy those who are nearby. And anyone who survives will be killed by famine. So at last I will spend my fury on them. 13 They will know that I am the Lord when their dead lie scattered among their idols and altars on every hill and mountain and under every green tree and every great shade tree—the places where they offered sacrifices to their idols. 14 I will crush them and make their cities desolate from the wilderness in the south to Riblah[a] in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

  1. 6:14 As in some Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts read Diblah.

11 Thus says the Lord God: (A)“Clap your hands (B)and stamp your foot and say, Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, (C)for they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. 12 (D)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. (E)Thus I will spend my fury upon them. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, (F)when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, (G)on every high hill, (H)on all the mountaintops, (I)under every green tree, and under (J)every leafy oak, wherever (K)they offered pleasing aroma to all their idols. 14 And (L)I will stretch out my hand against them and (M)make the land desolate and waste, (N)in all their dwelling places, from the wilderness to (O)Riblah.[a] Then (P)they will know that I am the Lord.”
