Idolatrous Worship Denounced

1Now 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! ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 3GodH3068 saysH559 to the mountainsH2022, the hillsH1389, the ravinesH650, and the valleysH1516: “BeholdH2009, I MyselfH589 am going to bringH935 a swordH2719 againstH5921 you, and 4I will destroyH6 your highH1116 placesH1116. 4So your 5altarsH4196 will becomeH8074 desertedH8074 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. 67EverywhereH3605 you liveH4186, 8citiesH5892 will be in ruinsH2717 and the highH1116 placesH1116 will beH8074 desertedH8074, soH4616 thatH4616 your altarsH4196 will beH2717 inH2717 ruinsH2717 and 9desertedH8074, your 10idolsH1544 will be brokenH7665 and broughtH7673 toH7673 anH7673 endH7673, your incenseH2553 altarsH2553 will be cutH1438 downH1438, and your worksH4639 wipedH4229 outH4229. 7The slainH2491 will fallH5307 amongH8432 you, and you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

8“However, I will leaveH3498 aH3498 11remnantH3498, in that you will haveH1961 those whoH6412 12escapedH6412 the swordH2719 among the nationsH1471 when you are scatteredH2219 among the countriesH776. 9Then those of you whoH6412 escapeH6412 will 13rememberH2142 Me among the nationsH1471 to whichH834 they will be takenH7617 captiveH7617, howH834 I have 1415been hurtH7665 by their adulterousH2181 heartsH3820 whichH834 turnedH5493 awayH5493 from Me, and by their eyesH5869 which committedH2181 infidelityH2181 withH310 their idolsH1544; and they will 16loatheH6962 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 that I would inflictH6213 thisH2088 disasterH7463 on them.”’

11“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 17GodH3068 saysH559: ‘ClapH5221 your handsH3709, 18stampH7554 your footH7272 and sayH559, “19WoeH253, becauseH413 of allH3605 the evilH7451 abominationsH8441 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 will fallH5307 by the 20swordH2719, famineH7458, and plagueH1698! 12Anyone who is 21farH7350 awayH7350 will dieH4191 by the plagueH1698, anyone whoH7138 is nearH7138 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and anyone who remainsH7604 and is sparedH5341 from these will dieH4191 by the famineH7458. So I will 22expendH3615 My wrathH2534 on them. 13Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when their 23deadH2491 are amongH8432 their idolsH1544 aroundH5439 their altarsH4196, on 24everyH3605 highH7311 hillH1389, on allH3605 the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, underH8478 everyH3605 leafyH7488 treeH6086 and underH8478 everyH3605 massiveH424 oakH424 with thickH5687 branchesH5687--the placesH4725 whereH834H8033 they offeredH5414 a soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to allH3605 their idolsH1544. 14So through allH3605 their dwellingH4186 placesH4186 I will 25stretchH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 them and makeH5414 the landH776 moreH4480 desolateH8077 and wasteH4923 thanH4480 the wildernessH4057 toward DiblahH1689; so they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”
