Ezekiel

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 2 Son of man, set thy face to­ward the moun­tains of Is­rael, and proph­esy against them, 3 And say, Ye moun­tains of Is­rael, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the moun­tains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the val­leys; Be­hold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will de­stroy your high places. 4 And your al­tars shall be des­o­late, and your im­ages shall be bro­ken: and I will cast down your slain men be­fore your idols. 5 And I will lay the dead car­cas­es of the chil­dren of Is­rael be­fore their idols; and I will scat­ter your bones round about your al­tars. 6 In all your dwelling­places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be des­o­late; that your al­tars may be laid waste and made des­o­late, and your idols may be bro­ken and cease, and your im­ages may be cut down, and your works may be abol­ished. 7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 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. 9 And they that es­cape of you shall re­mem­ber me among the na­tions whith­er they shall be car­ried cap­tives, be­cause I am bro­ken with their who­r­ish heart, which hath de­part­ed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whor­ing af­ter their idols: and they shall 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. 11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abom­i­na­tions of the house of Is­rael! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pesti­lence. 12 He that is far off 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: thus will I ac­com­plish my fury upon them. 13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their al­tars, upon 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 I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land des­o­late, yea, more des­o­late than the wilder­ness to­ward Di­blath, in all their habi­ta­tions: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
