Ezekiel 6:1-7

Judgment Against Idolatry

1 The word of the LORD came to me:
2 1"Son of man, 2set your face toward 3the mountains of Israel, and 4prophesy against them,
3 and say, 5You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to 6the mountains and 7the hills, to 8the ravines and the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, 9and I will destroy your high places.
4 10Your altars shall become desolate, and your 11incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
5 12And I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, 13and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6 Wherever you dwell, 14the cities shall be waste and 15the high places ruined, so that your altars will be waste and ruined,[a] your idols broken and destroyed, your 16incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out.
7 And the slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
