Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to me:

2 Human one, face Israel's mountains, and prophesy to them.

3 Say: Hear the LORD God's word, mountains of Israel! The LORD God proclaims to the mountains and hills, to the valleys and their deepest ravines: I'm about to bring a sword against you and destroy your shrines.

4 Your altars will be destroyed, your incense altars broken. And I'll make your slain fall in front of your idols.

5 I'll throw the Israelites' corpses in front of their idols, and I'll scatter your bones all around your altars.
