Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 The word of the Lord came to me:

2 O mortal, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

3 and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I, I myself will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense stands shall be broken; and I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.

5 I will lay the corpses of the people of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
