Ezekiel:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
set thy face toward the mountains of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and prophesy against them ,
*
And say ,
Ye mountains of Israel Yisra #
el #,
hear the word of the Lord GOD ;
Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains ,
and to the hills gib #
ah #,
to the rivers ,
and to the valleys ;
Behold ,
I ,
even I ,
will bring a sword upon you ,
and I will destroy your high places .
*
And your altars shall be desolate ,
and your images shall be broken :
and I will cast down your slain men before your idols .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you ,
and ye shall know that I am the LORD .
*
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 .
*
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 tow #
ebah #.
*
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 .
*
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 Yisra #
el #!
for they shall fall by the sword ,
by the famine ra #
ab #,
and by the pestilence .
*
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 ra #
ab #:
thus will I accomplish my fury upon them .
*
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 gib #
ah #,
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 .
*
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 .
