1
And the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came unto me, saying[H559],
2Son[H1121] of man[H120], set[H7760] thy face[H6440] toward the mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478], and prophesy[H5012] against them,
3
And say[H559], Ye mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478], hear[H8085] the word[H1697] of the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069] to the mountains[H2022], and to the hills[H1389], to the rivers[H650], and to the valleys[H1516]; Behold, I, even I, will bring[H935] a sword[H2719] upon you, and I will destroy[H6] your high places[H1116].
4
And your altars[H4196] shall be desolate[H8074], and your images[H2553] shall be broken[H7665]: and I will cast down[H5307] your slain[H2491] men before[H6440] your idols[H1544].
5
And I will lay[H5414] the dead carcases[H6297] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]before[H6440] their idols[H1544]; and I will scatter[H2219] your bones[H6106] round about[H5439] your altars[H4196].
6
In all your dwellingplaces[H4186] the cities[H5892] shall be laid waste[H2717], and the high places[H1116] shall be desolate[H3456]; that your altars[H4196] may be laid waste[H2717] and made desolate[H816], and your idols[H1544] may be broken[H7665] and cease[H7673], and your images[H2553] may be cut down[H1438], and your works[H4639] may be abolished[H4229].
7
And the slain[H2491] shall fall[H5307] in the midst[H8432] of you, and ye shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
8
Yet will I leave a remnant[H3498], that ye may have some that shall escape[H6412] the sword[H2719] among the nations[H1471], when ye shall be scattered[H2219] through the countries[H776].
9
And they that escape[H6412] of you shall remember[H2142] me among the nations[H1471] whither they shall be carried captives[H7617], because I am broken[H7665] with their whorish[H2181]heart[H3820], which hath departed[H5493] from me, and with their eyes[H5869], which go a whoring[H2181]after[H310] their idols[H1544]: and they shall lothe[H6962]themselves[H6440] for the evils[H7451] which they have committed[H6213] in all their abominations[H8441].
10
And they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], and that I have not said[H1696] in vain[H2600] that I would do[H6213] this evil[H7451] unto them.
11
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Smite[H5221] with thine hand[H3709], and stamp[H7554] with thy foot[H7272], and say[H559], Alas[H253] for all the evil[H7451]abominations[H8441] of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478]! for they shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719], by the famine[H7458], and by the pestilence[H1698].
12
He that is far off[H7350] shall die[H4191] of the pestilence[H1698]; and he that is near[H7138] shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719]; and he that remaineth[H7604] and is besieged[H5341] shall die[H4191] by the famine[H7458]: thus will I accomplish[H3615] my fury[H2534] upon them.
13
Then shall ye know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], when their slain[H2491] men shall be among[H8432] their idols[H1544] round about[H5439] their altars[H4196], upon every high[H7311]hill[H1389], in all the tops[H7218] of the mountains[H2022], and under every green[H7488]tree[H6086], and under every thick[H5687]oak[H424], the place[H4725] where they did offer[H5414]sweet[H5207]savour[H7381] to all their idols[H1544].
14
So will I stretch out[H5186] my hand[H3027] upon them, and make[H5414] the land[H776]desolate[H8077], yea, more desolate[H4923] than the wilderness[H4057] toward Diblath[H1689], in all their habitations[H4186]: and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
