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.
