Ezekiel 6:6

6 In all of your dwellings, the cities will be desolate and the high places will be ruined, so that your altars will be desolate and will suffer punishment. Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed,

Ezekiel 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:6

In all your dwelling places your cities shall be laid waste,
&c.] Which denotes that the desolation should be general, wherever they had cities and places to dwell in; the idolatry being universal, as is said in ( Jeremiah 2:28 ) ; and the high places shall be desolate;
meaning such as were in cities; as, before, such as were built upon mountains and hills; see ( 2 Kings 23:5 ) ; that your altars may be laid waste and desolate;
as they must be, the cities being destroyed in which they were set up: and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut
down;
such as were made of gold and silver, or of wood and stone; the same words are used for them as in ( Ezekiel 6:4 ) ; and your works may be abolished;
not only the works of their hands, but of their brain; whatever they had devised, and was contrary to the pure word and worship of God.

Ezekiel 6:6 In-Context

4 and your altars will be desolate, and your incense altars will be broken, and I will throw down your slain ones {before} your idols,
5 and I will place the corpses of the children of Israel {before} their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6 In all of your dwellings, the cities will be desolate and the high places will be ruined, so that your altars will be desolate and will suffer punishment. Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed,
7 and the slain one will fall in the midst of you, and [then] you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
8 But I will spare [some], {so there will be} for you fugitives from [the] sword among the nations {when you are scattered} in the countries.
