Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them,

3 and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. Thus hath the Lord GOD said to the mountains and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images of the sun shall be destroyed, and I will cause your dead to fall before your idols.

5 And I will lay the dead carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
