Ezekiel 6:5 In-Context

3 'Mountains of Isra'el, hear the word of Adonai ELOHIM: here is what Adonai ELOHIM says about the mountains, hills, ravines and valleys: "I myself will bring a sword against you and destroy your high places.
4 Your altars will be wrecked and your pillars for sun-worship broken, and I will throw down your slain ones in front of your idols.
5 I will lay the corpses of the people of Isra'el in front of their idols and scatter your bones all around your altars.
6 Everywhere you live, the cities will be destroyed and the high places wrecked; so that your altars can be destroyed and wrecked, your idols broken and abolished, your pillars for sun-worship cut down and the things you have made wiped out.
7 The slain will fall among you; then you will know that I am ADONAI.
