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.”’”

Then they will know that I am the Lord.(H)’”
