Idolatrous Worship Denounced

1And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH413 the 1mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and prophesyH5012 againstH413 them 3and sayH559, ‘MountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, listenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH136 2GodH3068! ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 3GodH3068 to the mountainsH2022, the hillsH1389, the ravinesH650 and the valleysH1516: “BeholdH2009, I MyselfH589 am going to bringH935 a swordH2719 on you, and 4I will destroyH6 your highH1116 placesH1116. 4So your 5altarsH4196 will becomeH8074 desolateH8074 and your incenseH2553 altarsH2553 will be smashedH7665; and I will make your slainH2491 fallH5307 in frontH6440 of your idolsH1544. 5I will also layH5414 the deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in frontH6440 of their idolsH1544; and I will scatterH2219 your 6bonesH6106 aroundH5439 your altarsH4196. 6In allH3605 your dwellingsH4186, 7citiesH5892 will becomeH2717 wasteH2717 and the highH1116 placesH1116 will be desolateH8074, that your altarsH4196 may becomeH2717 wasteH2717 and 8desolateH816, your 9idolsH1544 may be brokenH7665 and broughtH7673 to an endH7673, your incenseH2553 altarsH2553 may be cutH1438 downH1438, and your worksH4639 may be blottedH4229 out. 7The slainH2491 will fallH5307 amongH8432 you, and you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

8“However, I will leaveH3498 a 10remnantH3498, for you will haveH1961 those whoH6412 11escapedH6412 the swordH2719 among the nationsH1471 when you are scatteredH2219 among the countriesH776. 9Then those of you whoH6412 escapeH6412 will 12rememberH2142 Me among the nationsH1471 to whichH834 they will be carriedH7617 captiveH7617, howH834 I have 1314been hurtH7665 by their adulterousH2181 heartsH3820 whichH834 turnedH5493 awayH5493 from Me, and by their eyesH5869 which playedH2181 the harlotH2181 afterH310 their idolsH1544; and they will 15loatheH6962 themselves in their own sightH6440 for the evilsH7463 whichH834 they have committedH6213, for allH3605 their abominationsH8441. 10Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068; I have not saidH1696 in vainH2600 16that I would inflictH6213 thisH2088 disasterH7463 on them.”’

11“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 17GodH3068, ‘ClapH5221 your handH3709, 18stampH7554 your footH7272 and sayH559, “19AlasH253, becauseH413 of allH3605 the evilH7451 abominationsH8441 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 will fallH5307 by 20swordH2719, famineH7458 and plagueH1698! 12He whoH7350 is 21farH7350 offH7350 will dieH4191 by the plagueH1698, and he whoH7138 is nearH7138 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and he who remainsH7604 and is besiegedH5341 will dieH4191 by the famineH7458. Thus will I 22spendH3615 My wrathH2534 on them. 13Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when their 23slainH2491 are amongH8432 their idolsH1544 aroundH5439 their altarsH4196, on 24everyH3605 highH7311 hillH1389, on allH3605 the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086 and underH8478 everyH3605 leafyH5687 oakH424--the placesH4725 whereH834H8033 they offeredH5414 soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to allH3605 their idolsH1544. 14So throughout allH3605 their habitationsH4186 I will 25stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 them and makeH5414 the landH776 moreH4480 desolateH8077 and wasteH4923 thanH4480 the wildernessH4057 toward DiblahH1689; thus they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”
