(KJV) Ezekiel 6¹

⥃Judgment against Idolatry ^{[ Deuteronomy 4:15–31 † Deuteronomy 12:29–32 ]}

[1] And the word² of the Lord came unto me, saying, [2] Son of man, set³ thy face toward the mountains⁴ of Israel, and prophesy against them, [3] And say, Ye⁵ mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains⁶, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will⁷ destroy your high places. [4] And your altars shall be desolate, and your images⁸ shall be broken: and I⁹ will cast down your slain [men] before your idols. [5] And I will lay¹⁰ the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. [6] In all your¹¹ dwellingplaces the cities¹² shall be laid waste, and the¹³ high places shall be desolate; that your altars¹⁴ may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works¹⁵ may be abolished. [7] And the slain¹⁶ shall fall in the midst of you, and ye¹⁷ shall know that I [am] the Lord.

⥃A Remnant to Be Blessed

[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.¹⁸ [9] And they that escape of you shall remember¹⁹ me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am²⁰ broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes²¹, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall²² 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.²³

[11] Thus saith the Lord God; Smite²⁴ with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas²⁵ for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall²⁶ by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. [12] He that is far off²⁷ 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: thus²⁸ will I accomplish my fury upon them. [13] Then shall ye know that I [am] the Lord, when²⁹ their slain [men] shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon³⁰ 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 I³¹ stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness³² toward Diblath³³, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
