Ezekiel 6:2-10

2“Son of man, set your face toward the 1mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them 3and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord 2God! Thus says the Lord 3God to the mountains, the hills, the ravines and the valleys: “Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and 4I will destroy your high places. 4So your 5altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols. 5I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your 6bones around your altars. 6In all your dwellings, 7cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and 8desolate, your 9idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out. 7The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.

8“However, I will leave a 10remnant, for you will have those who 11escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries. 9Then those of you who escape will 12remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have 1314been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will 15loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations. 10Then they will know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain 16that I would inflict this disaster on them.”’
